Or, a look a like rear engine lo boy!
Pfft, if I was going through all that work I'd just put a smallblock in it
I know it's blasphemy in these parts but have two 350s with 700R4s sitting in the barn. Did I mention I have too many projects?
seriously though, the engine hoist on your lo boy sounds like a really good idea. You could get a hydraulic piston, and hook it up to the tractor and have a really heavy duty boom pole
I'm still thinking about building a detachable backhoe for it, and building the rear subframe accordingly. I'm planning on building it to accept pinned attachments, but in a stronger method than the 3pt, and as such I'll mount the hoist on a platform back there until I get around to putting off the backhoe build indefinitely...... (at least I'm honest with myself!)
Chillman88, do you have a cub loboy?
Yessir, the black one in the first picture is mine. It was already black when I got it.

Not without it's issues, but it's a decent little tractor. Just needs a bit of work.
I was very tempted to pick up another one I saw down in PA on Facebook marketplace but.... I don't really want to sleep in the garage in this weather and the wife would not be very happy with me
