We planted garden (lots of it) with a 4 row Deere planter from the 60's. We had plates for Silver Queen, butterbeans, and snaps. I would think any single row unit that drives from the press wheel would be adequate for gardening. IH and Deere seem to be the most common and available for parts and plates. Craigslist this time of year has lots of them, but imagine you would have to make your own tool bar to run on a Cadet.
One option that has been popular in the Southeast for 30+ years is the old horse drawn Cole planters. We had an abundance of offset Farmalls from tobacco farms that later became garden tractors. Lot of folks made a hitch to put these on those tractors, you should be able to mount it on a Cadet as well, I don't think they are too heavy.
I'll toss this out there. Guy somewhere on the net was raising vegetables using those push behind plastic and aluminum garden seeders. He planted several rows side by side and rigged up a big gang hitch under a small farm tractor. He had smooth rock free soil and it was working really well for him.
