Thanks for your response. I agree with your thoughts. I was originally looking for a wide frame hitch outfit but found all those on Ebay were going for over $200 just for the 3pt and another $100-$150 for the sleeve part. I didn't want to spend that type of money for just a hitch.
When I spotted this 72 with the 3 point already on it I had to check it out. I went tonight to check it out and the 7 hp engine runs like a top with no smoke. The seller provide the sleeve hitch from the 3 he had on a shelf after I told him I was looking for a plow tractor. I manage to score the entire deal for $350 from a very helpful seller. As he said, 'it may not look showroom but all my stuff works and works well'. It's the oldest Cub I have now and one of the coolest to drive. It's the only gear drive Cub I have. I think I'm really going to like the simplistic setup this little tractor offers. I'll try to figure out how to get a picture posted.
