That exhaust is kinda crude but I like it. I would have went with a wide rim on the front to widen that tricycle front but it’s still pretty cool. Not sure the price is cool though

Hahaha!.. I saw that one yesterday as I was killing time at work. Yeah, $1400 is too steep for me.

Narrow fronts are really overdone, IMO, and 82 series tractors look particularly cartoonish with it.

I wouldn't pay $250 for that, and if I did, the first thing I'd do is get rid of that dumb stack and put the correct front axle back on.

I'm like Matt. And the word for that is Cartoonish!

Is there any good reason for hacking up a Cub Cadet (or any other garden tractor) like that, other than just because he could.

I've seen some Cub Cadets that have been converted to narrow fronts that look really nice, but they were modified Narrow Frames not the bigger "Spread Frames" like the one in the OP. The scale is way off on that one. Forum member Paul Funk has done some that are especially nice. Here's a photo from Paul's Website:

Yep, the "scale" is so much better and like the one on the left it was made to look like something else.
Again, just MHO...

You guys beat me to it... was gonna say that I had really thought about turning my 100 into a mini IH 560 with the narrow front end. Looks so much like the bigger version. And yes, I saw Paul's years ago on a different website and that's what gave me the idea to do the same to mine...

Looks like a good "thing" for someone to get hurt on/with.
Could you even hang a mower deck under that the way it is?

I built one years ago with a Massey garden tractor it’s fun gets a lot of attention at a show

 

[Kittermankadets85]

This was one I traded for awhile back it’s since been traded I no longer own it but it was pretty cool

That one is tastefully done, and to scale. Is that a "C" in the background?

 

[Kittermankadets85]

Super C I sold it awhile back but it was a fun little tractor

I would suggest that he/she put a brace on that exhaust system before the whole thing breaks out the exhaust port. That is a lot of weight hanging out there. also, if Cub Cadet wanted tri system on the front they would have put them on there. Although I do like the red ones, I think they are pretty sharp.
