147 rear hitch
 

I bought a non running 147 that has a rear lift. Dont understand it but has this big square box thing with a large hole in it. How do you pull a wagon etc. Whats missing?

Whats that big box thing for on mine? Mine has no drawbar blade like your pic.

You can attach the wagon to the hole at the back or put a hitch ball in it. Your rear lift will raise and lower it.

They sell them here.

Alternatively you can just get the basic hitch that bolts to the diff cover:

This picture shows the 3 point hitch and the standard hitch on the diff cover.

How about a picture of "that big box thing"?
We are supposed to guess at what you have??
OK, I'll bite, Sounds like a counterweight box.

I can't figure out this picture thing. Its a big square bracket where the hitch plate would be. Has a big round hole in it. Its a factory thing.

Looks like the frame for a tiller drive with the pully box missing.

Yep, just went out to the garage and confirmed it.

BINGO!
Did Ya get a tiller as well??
And the gearbox that goes with it??
And the belt?
and the belt guard?
and the mule drive setup?

If I got all that would I be asking what that bracket was? Everyone on this forum seems to have some smart attitude.

Every now and again it gets a little snarky in here, but a better bunch of IH Cub guys you will not find. First you'll need to remove that tiller bracket and you can probably get a few bucks out of it on ebay. Keep in mind where it is bolted through that bracket, that the bolts are longer. You may want to get more hardware the same size as the 3 above that bracket.

The fitting you are after is called the draw bar, and it is a simple 90 degree bracket with a hole for bolting up a trailer ball or for pinning implements to the back like wagons. I'd suggest while you are doing this work that you go ahead and do a fluid change, clean the gunk out of the bottom of the case, install a new filter (not automotive) and button it all back up with a new gasket.

Thank you for that advice. I see a drawbar on Ebay said it came from a 100. Seller claims it will fit my 147. Can you verify that?

You mean this one?
Yes, it will fit.

Yes that one.

One other thing. Willna sleeve hitch fit without removing the tiller bracket? Also saw a pic of a Cub and his drawbar was bolted to the rear of that tiller plate.
