PO Mod
 

Hello. Two months ago I purchased a Cub 109 with the modified hitch. I removed it and replaced it with a regular Cub hitch bracket. After kicking it around the shop for 2 months, I saw some pictures of a Farmall 284 that had a hitch that looked similar. Has anyone else seen one of these?

Looks like part of the angling bolster off a rear blade. I don't think it's a hitch. Your pics are kind of dark....... :bigthink:

This help?

Looks like a homemade swinging drawbar.

I also think it looks like the adjustment bracket for a swinging draw bar.

All of that was fastened to the 109 via the three bottom axle housing bolts?

Based on the hole wear of the center hole, I suspect it was used to extend the hitch out. PO probably just used what he had laying around.

I also vote for the part off of a snow blade. Looks very similar.

Yes, it did help and I was wrong. I believe the OP is correct. It is the frame base of a swinging drawbar off an 84 series IH tractor. I checked the parts book, and looked at the back of a tractor. Yep, I'd say that's what it is! :ThumbsUp:

There were 2 more bolts that don't show above the lower 3 that held it on. Thanks for adding some light to the pictures and all the suggestions.
