Default Wide frame (1450) hitch rockshaft

First post here! I recently got a nearly free 1450 (well used) and have been tapping you guys for knowledge through your posts.

I've done the engine cradle mod, solid mounts from Jeff in PA, trunion repair, Ross steering gear rebuild with bearing's....... Now it's running and driving as it should.

Now I want to fabricate the hitch rockshaft and I need the OEM dimensions of the rock shaft arm pivot center to pin center and length of the lift arm. Can anyone out there give me the dimensions that I seek?

I have seen another thread titled "homemade rocksaft" but there were no dimensions listed.

Thanks,
Chris

Chris, Welcome to OCC!

This thread has dimensions in it, I don't know the pin length though.

Default pivot points

Just in case, you didn't know there were two types of mountings for these. One style has bushings welded on the frame and a pivot pin goes all the way through. The second style has no bushings but gets a special pivot bolt that bolts into the holes that style one has, but without the bushings.

Budscub, yes, I was aware of the two mounting styles. Mine has the bushings and I will use pins.

Bill, thank you for the link. That does give me the dimensions for the lift rod but not the dimensions for "E" in the attached diagram.

After I get some dimensions I will mock it up and definitely post some pics.

I see "E" in the attached diagram as 3-13/16", no? 3-7/8" as Maxwell measured will get you close enough.

Default Well,well

Well Bill, you are correct and I am an idiot.
I was doing this from my cracked screen phone yesterday. The crack just happened to run along and obliterate the measurement numbers. It wasn't till this morning that I looked on an actual computer and.....VOILA.....Just as you said.

Ha ha, you guys are kind for not saying "hey dummy, the diagram you posted as the measurements right on it ".

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
