Sears/Roper Three point adapter bracket
 

I took some really quick pictures this afternoon. The key to the whole setup is keeping all the geometry the same as it was on the sears..

I took pictures of a complete setup mounted on a 128 and I also took some pictures of an adapter bracket that we started building and never finished.. every time he built one he would start another so we didn't loose the pattern.

This setup will work on any of the cub cadets with the IH built cast iron rear axle. We have had them on everything from originals up to a 82 series. The fender pan has to be trimmed a bit on the later tractors to clear the top of the lift arm brackets.. this is not a problem on the older round fender or square fender tractors up thru the 125 series.

Very sweet setup those pics definitely help. Thanks everyone for the help.

After looking back at the other posts I realized you have a 582 special... it has the lightweight peerless rear axle... this setup would not work with that because the whole rear of the tractor is different..

I would use the 70... there is a lot more beef back there to bolt the adapter bracket to..
