I bought my sleeve hitch off eBay and am thinking the head of the bolt is too thick making it rub (the bolt I got with it is a new replacement, not the original), it also came with a flat and lock washer too..but if you put all those pieces on there, it won't come close to going inside the frame.
There is probably a 1/4" of space between bolt head and frame side.
Here you go westofb:

Thanks for the pics and congratulations on becoming a moderator!

My rubbing issue may have something to do with me test fitting them in the bare frame, perhaps the rear end assembly would spread the rails a tad. I am waiting on some parts to finish the work on the rear end, once it is back in the frame I will see if the problem goes away (hopefully it will).

Yes, actually mine frame did the same thing when I had it pulled from the trans. I am pretty sure trying to mate the two back together is what has gotten my back all out of shape. But the frame will spread open a bit, or at least, mine did. And thanks.

Still had some paint left and decided to pule the mule drive and subframe apart and get it painted up. Did a final sanding of the fender pan and a final paint job on it. White pieces will be done again next.

Parts drying after:

Well I got my spring assist cleaned and painted and installed. The gas tank and mounts mounted up together, and finally got the rear wheels finished up and drying. Now it's just a matter of $$$ to finish up the final things I need. A few more months but I am learning patience with this project.

Spring Assist:


OK, do I have the rear bracket backwards?


Fuel Tank and mounting brackets


Rear Wheels painted this morning


Love that shine


It looks so lonely and dejected back in the corner by itself

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.
