gee whiz Matt, you plowing in a rock pit? Holy crap, I know we have some stoney land around here, but you only have a Cub you know......plan on burring some boulders with it?

aagitch,

This is the 1st one i built, Cant really tell in the picture but its bent a little like yours is.

The next one i built i tied the part that the lift links hook to all the way to the cross brace. I havent tried it yet but it seems like this would brace it pretty good.

Just wondering....would it be wise to put brass bushings on the "u" bracket where it attaches to the tractor?? Or would that be a waste of time (too soft, not really needed etc...?)

If i attach a tiller gear box to the rear of my 782, can i still attach a brinly adapter to the rear without pulling the gearbox? or does the brinly adapter attach where the tiller would mount to the gbox?

Brass bushing(s) are too soft.

You will have to add 2 1/2 to 3 inches to the sleeve hitch arms and upper link.

After you straighten it out, wht don't you Harden, then Temper it?
Simple prodcedure, you'll just need a wide pan and alot of oil to do the Hardening.

Last weekends project
 

The hitch pins were just for a quick functionality test. I will use bolts foractual work. I fabricated the eentire hitch out of scrap around the garage. The majority of construction is from angle iron. The liftbar is 3/4"x2" bar stock which is welded to the pin tube as well as to the front and rear angle iron looking forward to seeing how it holds up.

Sorry I don't know why the pic posted sideways :bash2:

That pic would be correct if you were plowing my neighbors garden!! A little steep!! :biggrin2:

Looks OK to me..:bigthink:
