Hello. Two months ago I purchased a Cub 109 with the modified hitch. I removed it and replaced it with a regular Cub hitch bracket. After kicking it around the shop for 2 months, I saw some pictures of a Farmall 284 that had a hitch that looked similar. Has anyone else seen one of these?

Looks like part of the angling bolster off a rear blade. I don't think it's a hitch. Your pics are kind of dark.......

Looks like a homemade swinging drawbar.

I also think it looks like the adjustment bracket for a swinging draw bar.

All of that was fastened to the 109 via the three bottom axle housing bolts?

Based on the hole wear of the center hole, I suspect it was used to extend the hitch out. PO probably just used what he had laying around.

I also vote for the part off of a snow blade. Looks very similar.

Yes, it did help and I was wrong. I believe the OP is correct. It is the frame base of a swinging drawbar off an 84 series IH tractor. I checked the parts book, and looked at the back of a tractor. Yep, I'd say that's what it is!

There were 2 more bolts that don't show above the lower 3 that held it on. Thanks for adding some light to the pictures and all the suggestions.

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.
