Thanks Lew!!
I recently bought a pop up camper and knew moving it around with my 147 was gonna be way easier than with my full size truck....(my parents had a pop up when I lived there and I moved it all the time with Dad's 125) I needed a ball to fit into my drawbar (Thanks Roland....It's a drawbar not a hitch.
 ) All the coupler balls I've found had shanks that were way bigger around than the opening of my current drawbar, meaning I'd have to hack on it. Not wanting to hack on my current drawbar I figured I'd just get another one and hack on that. Lew sent me a really nice drawbar (not bent, seemingly straight and the hole was still round) vs the current one I've got that has an egg shaped hole and is thinner at the end than where it mounts. When the package showed up it had a ball to boot that fit into the drawbar. Hooray! I had to get a nut for it and a spacer to mount it. I put it (the ball) on my current drawbar and just take the whole assembly off when I don't need to move the camper around and re mount Lew's drawbar. It works great!

Good deal Daniel. I'm sure Lew has plenty of those, nice assist LP.
On a side note I've let a guy at work store my 102 at his house and he needed to move a 28 foot old school travel trailer around his yard. He asked if it would be ok to try with the 122 as his danger ranger smoked the clutch trying to move it. He was amazed that it pulled it with ease through pretty soft turf and Saint Augustine grass and was then sold on older Cubs. Needless to say he bought one from me just from that experience

Oh yeah, CCs are great. They'll pull their guts out, but break traction before they break anything else. I mounted a ball on Dad's 782 before to move stuff (no rototiller mount) and it being recessed under the seat about a foot further makes a difference. (the 125 has a tiller mount) I just give it about half throttle since it's working it some and take my time. As dad would say- better shovel on the coal!

Daniel,
Who to thunk I would send you one of my balls, but it was the right size for the hole so I sent it along as I have many balls.

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.
