Sleeve Hitch on a 782
 

I bought a cub cadet sleeve hitch rake for my 782. My tractor is a 1984 782 with an aluminum rear. I've having a hard time finding the cast iron lift link and nobody has given me a definitive answer. Will the older style links with a shaft work (wideframe) if i use a bushing (2, one on each side) in my frame? Or do i need one that has the frankenstein bolt style?

One vendor told me serial numbers 719999 and below for a sleeve hitch and above used a point hitch. What's a point hitch? I'm royally confused.

Below is a picture of the sleeve hitch on the 782 I used to have. The CI rockshaft came off of a 129 WF. You will need to order a set of Frankenstein bolts from one of our sponsors or make a wanted add. The lower two point will probably have to be purchased from Xtrememotorsports.com since you have the aluminum rear. I also purchased the lift bar from Xtreme for mine too.

Ok, thanks, that's what I was planning to do, I found several off of the other wideframes just wasn't sure if it was going to work.

I had been emailing Aaron at Xtreme for the other parts, but he didn't have a answer for me either on the lift link. Thanks for the help.
