Default Winch mount
Got the winch mount fabbed and ready to use. Planning on using on the 123 for yard work as the 129 in a mowing tractor.

That's a good idea; I've been thinking about something like that on the 147 to help get it on and off the truck. If one used a pin instead of a bolt and a connector just below the seat it would be easy to remove/install as needed. I've already got a switch on the panel (previous owner) that isn't being used. Where'd you get it?

Why do you need a winch on a mower?

Isn't it easier to drive the tractor on and off the trailer instead of winch it up and down?

Perhaps this is best suited for a Halloween discussion. I don't know much about these things, but a warlock probably does. It seems a little dirty and embarassing to discuss, but I suppose witches...well,....,

I was thinking that a guy in the woods who wants to remove a tree that he has cut up, or maybe down brush or small tree from a ravine, but you'd have to be careful on weights so that the cub didn't come to the tree, but the tree comes to the cub!

I bought a winch and winch mount from Harbor Fright, but I have never installed them. I was considering mounting it on the front of the tractor since someone already drilled holes in the front grille of my cub.

I used to have a "winch"..... but I think it may have been spelled like you spelled it.

Perhaps your original question is still applicable, then....why would anyone?

In either event, I used to be married to one, I think sometime early on she had cast an evil spell on me.

If I had a trailer it might be, but since I have only the big ol' Dodge and don't relish winding up under a 750 pound machine I usually don't nor will I let anyone else "drive" up there or back it down.

Besides, I don't wish to be one of these guys:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1NOFEBXvcuA (I especially liked the guy sitting on the hood with the 2x6s)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FF0RJ7QTFgn (The first one of these is a CC)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vaEyd5umMg4
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfPD72_ms6o (Ramps optional, won't be doing this with the 147)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kW7Bsz7prHc (This one's a ringer since it isn't a mower - I have a machine like this one - it gives me the willies thinking about it - ever see those guys with the prairie busters balancing on a set of six-by's? Fascinating, talk about skill.)

There are a lot more but I think you get the picture. I learned to keep out of the machines at the lumber mill when I was a teenager and it's still with me.

I have about 30 railroad ties to remove from a section of a side drive I don't use any more. Going to use one tractor to pull the trailer and the other tractor to load the ties.
Better than breaking your back doing it by hand.
Got it for free so what the heck, took me about 20 minutes to fab up the mount. If I only use it once it's worth the 20 minutes of fab time.

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.
