WAYNE - Marlin would be the EXPERT, since he builds hydro's every day, and has access to the engineers. But I would think you should be able to go as fast in reverse as you can forward.
I suspect there is a limit to output speed, probably stated in the design & engineering spec's for the 15U hyd. motor. Not sure what all the gear reduction is in a hydro rearend but I have a 123 skeleton I could take a peak at if I had to. I doubt the CC hydro is maxed out for speed, but I'm not sure anything faster than the current 8 MPH is prudent.

Dennis-
I suspect Marlin would know. He'll chime in eventually. I'm glad I noticed the lobe difference. I was talking to Don when he pointed out a mark which, after referring to some photos I found the correct orientation. Going 8 mph backwards is about as useful as t*ts on a bull. It might speed up mowing though now that I think about it.

WAYNE - Dad bought a 1963 vintage 6-cyl diesel tractor that was built in Waterloo. IA. It had the "Synchro-Range transmission" as it's only trans option. Eight forward and three reverse gears, think forward speeds were from about 2-1/2 MPH to 17-18 MPH plus the standard foot throttle would run the engine up to 2500 RPM from the normal 2100 to gain another couple MPH.
ANYHOW, reverse speeds were about 2-1/4, 4-1/2, and seven MPH, 7 MPH in reverse. It was actually kinda nice having that gear, just like the high side reverse in a Road-Ranger truck transmission.
There's actually a FORTH reverse in those tractor tranmsissions but you have to cut the dash up to get shifted into it, and it would be about 16-17 MPH.
The forward/reverse shuttle-shift transmissions in most construction equip. actually ran 10-20% faster in reverse than they did forward. Pretty useful actually.

Kraig and Terry, its guys like you that makes this site phenominal. Many thanks for taking so much time and effort to help me with the lift mounting plate. I can now make and fit one as good as the original part.
Kraig, we use metrics this side of the pond but I am old enough to have saved a few non-metric rulers and measuring tapes (from the early sixties when we converted from Imperial) to be able to use both. More often than not I still think in inches and sometimes confuse myself with mm and cm.
Once again many thanks for your usefull information. It is appreciated.

Went shopping today and found some extras for my cubs. Picked up a Brinly plow and cultivator with a Brinly sleeve adapter hooked to each one. Also got an IH front plow with a wide frame carriage and two 6-12 rims. Not bad for one evening. I wonder what would happen if I told the wife?....
Dennis,
I know what you mean. I am trying to figure if a I.R. is justifiable for refurbishing three cubs, or just get by with what I have.
Kenneth,
The sprayer is a Kobalt small gravity feed spray gun (item# 301339). Tried to pull it up on the website and got nothing. Called the store and it came up. Price is 37.96 + tax.
Donald,
Nice find on that IH calendar. Excellent year too! That's the year I discovered America.
