I actually did see a compression spring used - I might have pictures of that set up some place. Yeah I found it - it's from a member of the IH Cub Cadet forum - a Jerry Ide, I believe.
But, I looking for an extension spring though. I don't have the room to cobble up one like Jerry's compression spring set up.

I looked at some deck springs - most of them are too weak. BTW, here's the thread for my helper spring thingy:

Well, I was so anxious to try out the hitch that I couldn't wait for the top coat of paint - so here's some pictures of it in primer gray. Sorry for the fuzzy pictures, but it's been so humid here that the camera lens got a little foggy.

Thanks, Allen.
Gazo, I haven't really used this blade too much yet - it's an Agri-fab. I just got it a couple of days ago - it looks like it never seen the ground yet. It looks like someone bought it and then left it outside to get some surface rust on it, but never used it. Only time will tell how durable it will be, but I think it could have been sturdier.

I agree with Allen....ACTION SHOTS! Nice job on the hitch. Hope mine turns out that well when I get it finished?

Well, no pictures today, even "still" shots. But yesterday I pull the hitch off and painted it. Also someone told me that whoever assembled the box blade, put the hitch frame on upside down. So I corrected that and it does make a difference.

That is what was wrong with it! It looked odd when you had it attached to the back of the tractor - it looked like it was at a weird angle. Now it all makes sense. I bet it would change the way it works for sure! Can't wait for some action shots as well as to see that hitch all painted up.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
