[AT] Cub PTO adapter

Sun Apr 4 11:46:49 PDT 2004

If all you need is a sleeve to bring your Cub PTO shaft up to a standard PTO 
shaft, then that's easy to get. They're in the bin at your local Tractor 
Supply Company, but it probably says "Kubota to standard PTO" on the label. 
Same thing. Mine cost about $8.

Of course, it doesn't DO anything useful in terms of converting the 
non-standard Cub PTO to any regular application. I have mine just so I can 
slip on an old (John Deere) tire inflator pump. It doesn't care that it runs 
in the wrong direction and a bit too fast. Doesn't work all that well, anyway.

Best,
Bob Seith

Mike,

I don't know what you found, but it's not likely to be for a Cub or Kubota.
Maybe its' innards would work to fabricate one.  I'm wondering if it was
made to mount backward on a Cub or Kubota implement to allow use on a
standard tractor?

The one I have (unknown make) has its' case bolted directly to the
differential case.  The only one like it I've ever seen recently sold on
ebay for more than $800!

The more commonly seen one is the Hub City unit, and it mounts in the same
way without any brackets.  This is a poor copy of a catalog page showing
them.  They can bring $500.

In any event, free is good.
