Dan Hoefler's Custom Cub Cadets

[kmcconaughey]

John, sadly, I believe Dan has been too busy in recent years to get them out to shows. EDIT: Thank you for the kind words.

WOW, what beautiful machines. Also, what great photos! You really do us all a great service taking, keeping, and sharing photos!

Do you know if these Cubs still make it to any shows in the MN/WI area by chance?

x2 on what John stated. What is he up to these days? Is he still working on projects?

Last I heard he had retired from his day job and was concentrating on his own business.

Hopefully that is creating more Cubs? Or better yet another crawler!!!

Dang.... that's some beautiful work. Some of the best bracketry and paintwork I've ever seen. And in my neck of the woods!
I'm not sure whether I should be inspired or intimidated! I'll just go with inspired and call it good.

Looks like a DANA 44 up front

Beautiful machines and quality workmanship.

Which is what Kraig?

I believe he is just doing machinist type stuff and making reproduction parts for Cub Cadets and perhaps other equipment. I'm not certain what exactly he is up to. Charlie might have more insight.

The frt axle in the 4wd Cubbie is smaller than a #44, seems like it was a #20.
I think it was Blunier's 2nd or 3rd plow day an Illiniois State Trooper passed Dan. with his Super-Duty and trailer load of Cubbies, The trooped was waiting for him couple miles down the road, and flagged Dan down, stopped him, ran his licenses and registration, seems like it was around the intersection of I-39 & I-88. Of course all the paperwork was in order and the trooper looked over the trailer and cargo really close. Trooper didn't say much, just thanked Dan and let him go.
