I like what you have built, nice craftsmanship.
I would suggest that you turn your mounting "U" bracket that you bolted to the rear end, upside down.
The way you have it pictured, you are trying to "bend" the bolts when lifting an implement.
Inverting it, you will be trying to pull the bolts out of the rear end, not bend them.
Just my two cents, you didn't ask for.

Nice job!
Thanks, it would be cool to see other things made on shows like that. We honestly use the forge for more practical things a lot, it’s much cheaper for big projects than using the torches.

Thanks, yeah I’ve made some other non cub items, a candle chandelier, fireplace crane and some other items. It’s actually my brother’s forge, I just use it when he isn’t looking

Thanks for the input ol’George. I actually built it just like the stock design, which I guess has worked for 60 years, lol. To tell you the truth I wasn’t sure about it myself at first, but this is an OEM one from the internet......

Not remembering what the oem looked like, I tend to over build things or think them out, and when doubt, go heavier or stronger.
And it is a cub, not a large piece of farm or construction equipment, and the fact you copied a proven design, I'm sure it will be just fine.

I never was one to follow the crowd, always inquisitive and thinking/asking questions.
sometimes that is good, sometimes it leads to interesting results!
I do like your project, and every time you use it, a feeling of accomplishment is derived. BTDT

I initially thought the same as ole' George, but in this case the load on the bolts is shear force. The lever being above and being pulled actually forces the U bracket against the diff. If you were just hanging a load off the U bracket (without the lever) then definitely it would be up side down.

Basically the deadweight of whatever you lift will put that amount of shear force on the bolts. The tensile pull on the lever and link will be much greater.

I agree, the way the force is applied should be applied into the rear end and down, not really wrenching on it.

I agree with you ol'George, if I was designing it from scratch I would have run two pieces of angle iron vertically with a cross brace in order to catch 4 bolts. The actual pivot point and lever almost have to remain where they are on a tractor with fenders as altering the fulcrum point or lever length would cause interference in the fender pan slot ( this was one of the biggest challenges I had getting it right, because if I messed it up the lift bar was going to grind in the fender pan, lol). Typically I overbuild things, like this Bush Hog GT I helped my brother with. This was an engine repower (25 HP Kubota), rear end swap and we built the 3 point.

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.
