Thanks, Ben.

I'd start by finding an equipment literature dealer. They are in abundance at flea markets but you probably don't want to wait till summer. In this case, I would look for these guys on eBay and send them emails.
Sure would like to see a bunch of pictures with closeups of the PTOs and the special tractor drive components. I'm assuming the creeper drives are hydraulic so I would like to see how the hydraulics are set up. Sure would be interesting if you have a 460 Hydro before IH mass-marketed that system a few years later.

wardner at peoplepc.com
but you ought to post them here so everybody can see them. Or I could post them.
Below is my creeper on a F-400. Below that is a Cub trencher that somebody else owns. The entire transaxle was replaced at the trencher (Auburn ?) factory.

No. A 2-speed gearbox is set between the bell housing and transmission. The trencher PTO drives out of the same box.
Jim,
There was a Cub trencher on eBay within the last year. The listing had about 10 pictures. The transaxle/pto was aftermarket. I think the drop boxes were retained.
The Cub picture above is a perfect example why equipment should rarely be shot at 90 degrees unless it is a closeup. There is not a whole lot to be seen otherwise.

Wardner, you always have a lot of moving parts added to you equipment! It looks good.
Did you ever get the hydraulics fixed up with the pilot operated check valves on the forklift fruit picker on the Farmall or McCormick that you were working on last year to keep it level?
Enjoy!

Well, I could go out and take a picture of mine to prove it. But it is cold and dark right now, so I'll settle for this picture of the same tractor you posted (parked in the same spot). This same picture is in the May-June '05 Red Power in an article on Cub gearboxes.
Jim,
Well there must have been two manufactures of Cub trenchers. The one on eBay had a massive box that replaced the transaxle and the axle housing segment under the seat. Can't remember what was done to the floorboard. I think it was located in NC. I should have saved the pictures. I do that occasionally as eBay tosses them.
Your set up must be very hard on the Cub PTO that is engineered to rotate at engine rpm.

Did the one on eBay look like this from the rear (same tractor)? The massive box is made of steel plate and covers the trencher drive chain, lift cylinder and linkage etc. That stuff is all on and around the original drive train. The trencher is driven by a shaft out of the added gearbox. You can see a bit of the shaft just ahead of the fender in the first picture I posted. The trencher PTO engages when you shift the transmission to low range.
Jim,
That's a nice picture. The one on eBay appeared to have original weathered paint. Yes, it may have been similar to the one in your last picture but I won't swear to it.
Think I would rather have one built from a 460 if I were to put it to work. But that is a nice looking rig and probably quite rare.
