IHC Cub Implements

[Tominnebr]

Just purchased a plow and 5" sickle bar mower for my older cub (manual lift). Don"t think I got all the parts for mounting the implements. Anyone know where I could look at manuals/photos of how these two implements are hooked up? Thanks

You might try http://www.external_link/ click on help for cub owners then on implement hookup.

Is that the moldboard plow or a disc plow?

It is a moldboard type

Bob, thank you very much. TMTractor photos showed me exactly want I wanted to see. Guess I will be doing some fabricating now.

Best I can recall, to mount the moldboard plow the drawbar has to be reversed, the plow mounts to the drawbar, there's a link to the RH lift arm under the gas tank, and the drawbar is set up to pivot on the tapered-head mounting bolts.

As far as the sickle bar mower, goes, the driving shaft mounts to two of the implement mounting holes on the torque tube housing, and to two rear holes. IIRC, there's a tube with oversize clevis-type ends that runs parallel to the pitman arm, and it's held to the driving shaft with a headed pin, to allow some flex in the mower itself [but not too much]. There's a rod with a loop connected to a solid square piece that goes into the square hole in the front casting, behind the steering, and it's held in place with a set screw, IIRC. A lift link again attaches to the RH lift arm that runs under the gas tank...and on the rod with the loop, there's a smaller-diameter rod with a threaded end and a nut with a handle that's used to hold up the cutter bar when the mower's in the transport [as opposed to mowing] position.

Sorry I can't be more specific, but it's been about 30 years since I mounted a sickle bar mower on a Cub...and a lot longer since I've even SEEN a moldboard plow on a Cub. The ol' memory ain't what it used to be, unfortunately...at least in the case of the plow. But I'm pretty sure I'm fairly accurate on the sickle bar mower mounting.

And the PTO pulley for the sickle bar has a pinch bolt to keep it tight...as opposed to the type with the two-bolt insert used on the Woods 42 for the Cub.

Hope this makes a little sense, and hope it helps.
