Figure it out on your own, or buy them from Jeff.
Thanks Guys! Ya'll funny too! My tractor is missing the bottom mounts and I will figure it out on my own if necessary. I do have access to a machine shop and make fabrication drawings every day. I'm interested in making the parts myself and will private message Jeff and ask if he's willing to share any details. The only real question is, how high should the cradle rail be above the tractor frame mounting surface. In other words, what's the ideal gap?

Thanks for responding and I do respect not trying to put a guy out of business, but I'm going to do this on my own and share my results with ya'll for $1.00 each! Haha!

I invested close to $2K for my lathe and about the same amount in tooling. I don't even want to add up what I have in material on hand. Plus the milling machine and tooling for that. Carbide endmills and lathe tooling are not cheap. I have searched far and wide to find the other hardware for a decent price so I can offer affordable parts for my fellow enthusiasts.

I mostly stopped making parts for the general public. I used to make a lot of custom motorcycle wheels and custom accessories. I got fed up with people being cheap and beating me down in price. They would look in some catalog and say " the ones you made are almost like these and they only cost xxx$"
Now I stick with companys that need parts and we agree on the price and it's all good.
Sorry my cynical side was showing there.

Respectfully I am going to make my own as I have access to the material and lathe. I am not in this to make money or compete, just using this forum to learn and share. I appreciate everyone's response and help. This is a great site with great people. Also, I am doing all of this for my son as a father/son project.

I certainly do not want to upset anyone and will buy parts from folks like Jeff when necessary. I will keep Jeff in mind.

Thanks,
Kevin

Fair enough. I wasn't trying to imply that you should.

You've certainly treated me well and have my business

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.
