3 Point Lower Bracket with or without Ears?
I'm looking to plow at least an acre and a half with my cub original. Engine is remade and is fully making the 7 horsepower it left with from the factory. Rear end is in great condition and there is no problem with it.
However, I would assume engaging in the ground with that much strain might rip the bolts and bottom bracket out of the rear end. Should I buy a bottom bracket with ears or will original equipment work just as good? Also, for the lower bracket, should I replace the bolts with longer ones or will the original ones do just fine? |

Yes, mounting the lower bracket will require longer bolts, about 1/4". |
Some of those threaded holes may be blind holes. If they are, too long a bolt can crack the case.

I think they are all blind holes
The parts look up calls for the right length bolts in the 3 point section. 1" W/O the 3 point (drawbar only) and 1.25 with the (inner) lower 3 point. Add the outer lower 3 point, add another .25"=1.5" Be safe, measure the depth to be sure. You do not want to wreck the threads or bottom out the inside holes in the differential! |
...with ears. :ThumbsUp:
