Brinly sleeve hitch adapter
Have any of you ever had the sleeve hitch adapter bend a little bit where the plow hooks to it. It looks bent a little from having it raised up and then maybe the plow bouncing around with all that weight where the hitch pin is. I'm wondering if it'll keep bending more? It is a reproduction adapter with 3/8 thick metal.

A Gitch:
It has not happened to me personally, but I agree, some heavier gauge of steel wouldn't hurt a thing.

My factory brinly sleeve hitch adapter is bent. I want to add a cross brace as shown in the picture:
 I'm not sure how the after market sleeve hitch adapters are made. If they use heat to help in the bend process it can make a weak area. The picture is small-it shows what I want to modify. Here is what happens when you don't have support on both sides of your sleeve hitch adapter:  The shinny areas was elogated holes.

Both of the old adapters I have come up with were bent or twisted. I used the fork lift at work to twist them back into shape. I'm sure they'll bend again if used much. Oh well.

Matt, do you have any pictures of one built like you are saying?
I am about to have to make the sleeve hitch adapter myself if I am to use my plow.... and sure wouldn't mind some hints from folks that have been there already.. In the pics of the aftermarket hitch it shows two shiny new bolts and nuts inserted right next to the tube....are those to tighten up your plow so it won't swing side to side? Would you really want to do that with a land plow?? I know once I actually use it it will all make sense...

Here is a drawing of a fabricated hitch. Seems to be heavier construction as compared to the Brinly.....

Hmm...I don't think so, but I'll have to check. Might take me a few days though, this is gonna be a rough week at school.
I prefer not to use those bolts and let the plow find its own center. That way when you hit something it doesn't jar the tractor quite as bad and bend stuff.

That's the ticket!! I think I can see how one could make it with angle instead of flat stock, too.. Thanks!

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.
