Default HOMEMADE SLEEVE HITCH

I was wondering if anyone had ever built a sleeve hitch for a nf. Ive been thinking of trying it, thought maybe someone could have some pics. I know I could just buy one but theyre kinda salty for my wallet, just would like play a little harder with my 70.

I built one for my 126 and built a top link for my 100 after I cracked the original cast piece.

Default please do

Hello all, i would like to say Adam your a freakin genius. i've read about this set up and the one with the hydraulics. i don't know if i can do the latter one but sometime in the future i will attempt to try. please do give drawing with measurement. also are your wheel weights home made. i have to say they look pretty sharp too. in my belief there should be a seperate section on this site just for drawing and measurement with full plans for making add-ons or modifications. that is for the people that wanting to share their ideas. i know this section has the talk about this but maybe seperate drawings and plans. anyway thank you Adam and all members who come up with these great projects for us that are less able to see what is possible. good health, Luke

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.
