Default Sleeve Hitch Fertilizer/Salt Spreader
A few years ago, I built a mounted salt spreader for my 100. It worked good but it wasn't exactly quick attach. I tore it apart and rebuilt it as a sleeve hitch mount. The frame is ready to sandblast and paint. The spreader wheel is driven with a cordless drill motor and gearbox. I used the trigger from the drill to give me variable speed so I could find the perfect speed. I mounted it from above as the last motor was underneath and locked up when salt and snow got into it. The baffle in front of the spreader is made from the bottom of a bucket. It should keep salt off the back of the tractor.

Nice revamp of the old spreader. That will surely do the trick, oh I want one of those. My son would use it a lot for his snow work. So many cool ideas and only one lifetime to build them all. sigh...

Thanks for the pictures. A picture such as this is better than a 15 page manual trying to explain it. Of course having the aptitude to think of it in the first place would be handy too! Thanks for sharing.

Finally got the spreader sandblasted and painted. I'll try to get it back together and try it out this week. I need to spread some weed & feed on the lawn. My dandelion crop is thriving this year.

i was planning on building something similar to yours,except i was going to use a blower motor from a car,and a aftermarket heater fan switch which allows for multiple speeds. i suppose you could also use a blower motor resistor from a car

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.
