Cub Cadet 149 TLB Transformation Part 9: Backhoe Build 1

[@andytatro8466]

Nice job. I did the same thing to a 1250 cubcadet about 7 years ago using the pf plans. it is a very handy tractor to have around.

[@robertjordan9075]

Love the work you do.😎😎👍🏽👍🏽

[@DarrenCharron]

Well now I am thinking about building a backhoe attachment too! I'll just start with the loader first great video!

[@andrewfuller8440]

Norman, you have inspired me, I have started my backhoe build, I have done all the bushings, the bucket, the bucket links, and the boom. Will be doing the crowd arm next. I am using my Montgomery ward 53027 as the base unit, it has a Johnson loader and is a 16 hp B&S powered hydrostatic garden tractor. What parts do you sell to fit it? Thank you

[@michelboisvert5684]

hi, nice project, can I ask you an indiscreet question, how much did it cost you, but I can say that you are a pro, nice work and have a lot of fun with it.

[@davehofstadter]

hello where did you find the back wheels. looks sweet.

[@Isavetractors]

I get all of my tires from millertire.com

[@DKTractors]

Nice job! Wish I had the tools and time to try it myself

[@Isavetractors]

Thank you!

[@DKTractors]

isavetractors I be started getting into Sears tractors a few weeks ago. One has a HH120 do you carry many spare parts? Thanks I'm trying to catchup on all your vids.

[@Isavetractors]

At this time, all I have for the Tecumseh HH120 is the connecting rod and the piston and rings in STD size.

[@NilsKall]

Great video!

[@Isavetractors]

+Nils Kall Thank you!

[@oldironsfury]

I'm jealous! Haha, Great work !

[@naimi3059]

Do you have a master planner and excavator

[@GeorgeMcIntyre-o9i]

Where can I find a hydraulic pump so I can build my own front end loader and backhoe and plus when I see what the front bucket I can hook up the snow plow where can I get the hydraulic pump hydraulic lift and hydraulic power steering that is on a international harvester Cub for a 1250

[@colinnolden7596]

About how much did this cost? if you don't mind me asking

[@Isavetractors]

The total cost for the whole machine start to finish I estimate was about $3,000. It's now been a while and I didn't keep as good of track of the expenses as I should have.

[@colinnolden7596]

that's awesome. I've wanted to build a loader for my 1325 cub cadet. do you think this could handle a loader. the backhoe looks slick. wish I had one. I'm a young farmer in Wisconsin and I would like to build one for small jobs.

[@Isavetractors]

I don't think a Cub Cadet 1325 can handle a loader. You want one of the Cub Cadets from the 70's. They are the best platforms. A wideframe Cub Cadet like mine is ideal.

[@colinnolden7596]

Ok thank you much!

[@normanodom3811]

What size is the square tubing?

[@Isavetractors]

all varies. Plans are available at: www.loaderplans.com

[@willmyers2169]

Hey, the wheelhorse I'm donating to you is in my first video.

[@Truckman3287]

Where did you get the plans at

[@Isavetractors]

loaderplans.com

[@josephpacheco7508]

Love how you weld right next to a spray can lol

[@fernandorojas9243]

Podria facilitar los planos?

[@popsknows5648]

Because of these I am going to look at a 1250 in the morning

[@Isavetractors]

Awesome. I am glad these video inspired you. I have over 80 videos on this type of thing so be sure to check them out and subscribe for more. Thank you for saving the tractors!

[@RightToRecallPartyJharkhand]

i want to make it. can you give me detail of drawings

[@danielduggan2992]

did you do the plans yourself if so what program did you use to draw them or if not any links ?

[@Isavetractors]

www.loaderplans.com and www.backhoeplans.com

[@maggs131]

You weld with flux core just about as good as it can be. It would be night and day difference if you switched to mig with shielding gas tho
