Truck Hitch Mounted Skinning Post
I saw one of these for sale a while back and figured it would be a pretty simple project. I made just a few slight changes to the one I saw for sale. I had some 2" square tubing lying around so it worked out rather nicely. I made the gambrel from some of my wifes yard art (some Christmas decorations that she hopefully won't miss) All I have in this is the winch that I got at Harbor Freight for $23. I still need to put two wheels in the upper tube to guide the cable, and I need to grind some of the welds flush and of course primer and paint. I also need to join the two sections (upper and lower). I plan to join them with a piece of round stock (1.75" diameter!!!!). I'll weld the stock inside the lower square tube and leave about 6" sticking out so I can slide the upper section over it. Plan is to have a pin that secures the upper tube to the round stock coming out of the lower tube. Reason for the round stock is so that I can swing the top portion around in four postions. This should allow to skin the deer and then swing him into my truck bed. The only concern here is whether or not the round stock will contact the inside of the tube enough to provide good upright support. We shall see. Anyway, let me know your thoughts/suggestions/criticism. If you have one of these you have bought, what improvements would you make to it or the one you see I am working on below?
Cheers.

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.
