3 point hitch build
 

Looking for threads to build a category 0 3 point hitch for 3186.

I don’t think anybody has built one yet. There are 2 different versions for the 3k machines. The 207 & 365 depending if your machine has the CI rear or not.

207
 

I'm pretty sure mine is the 207 from the diagrams I have seen.

3 point hitch.
 

I just need a good used rock shaft. Not a new one.

Walter,
Post a good clear picture of what you do have so far.
Lay it out on a nice surface free of clutter so we can see just what you have.'
Also include a good clear picture of the rear of the Cub, mainly the rear plate between the wheels.
The rock shaft is a welded assembly

Just build one and make it better use real bearing blocks on the back plate. You can cut the back plate for the hydraulic cylinder or mount everything outside the back plate and possibly use two cylinders. The amount of movement of the stock 3 point is minimal and you can do a lot better with your own build.

My big problem is I don't have any measurements to go by. I know on the back plate there are 2 holes on each side to mount the rock shaft brackets on. On the lower right there is the cutout for the lift cylinder to stick out and hook to rock shaft. I have the 2 link assembles already. Also rest of hookups, except the rockshaft.

Walter, I actually have a 3000 with a 3 point on it - it's my next project. It is sort of buried right now but if I move it out to rearrange things for the winter I will take some pictures and try to get the measurements you need.

Thanks Bill I would appreciate that. My coupling to tie the 2 valve assembles together will be here tomorrow along with the hydraulic lift cylinder. Still have to finish rebuilding the 2 valve assembles an shorten the handle for hydraulic valve. I ended up with 2 handles the same length. And have to drill out 1 more brass bushing that goes on lift link.

It has taken me 2 years to collect all the Parts for a 190-207-100, but I have finally done it.

All I am missing for a 190-365-100 Hydraulic hoses and cylinder. The cylinder I can get from a supplier.

finsruskw made me a new rear hitch Plate and some rocker-shaft Mounting brackets.

The 190-365-100 Only works with aluminum transmission case tractors with external Brake controls

This boneyard https://www.ihccw.com/ might still have a rocker shaft for a 190-207-100.

I am finally purchasing a 3208 to mount the 190-207-100. I'll just have 3 leavers, though I won't have the 4 leavers. But thanks to this https://summit-hydraulics.com/produc...button-switch/ I'll have 4 outlets and will only need one lever.

I'm also getting a 54-inch Blade with the manual angle kit, so the next search will be for the angle kit and horses for that to use in the Summit multiplier :ThumbsUp:

Rock shaft.
 

After not finding any diagrams for rock shaft. I have decided to try and build my own.
I found a round 1-1/8" piece of cold roll steel.
Already have 2 bearing blocks.
Going to use 2" × 3/8" flat steel.
Going to be trial and error.
Got both valve bodies rebuild and installed.
Both work great. No leaks.
Next have to build a lift cylinder bracket.
Will keep posting updates.

Talk to this eBay member https://www.ebay.com/usr/pas196459 He is Parting out a 190-207-100 He might have both Parts. I believe he is a Cub Cadet dealer In Vermont

I can probably help with the dimensions on the rocker shaft, as I have one.
But I am dropping my 190-207-100 off tomorrow to be put On a 3208 That I am buying, and since they have to repair the bearing block assembly on the axles, They figured they would just install it for me.

Rock shaft
 

If you could send me some pictures and measurements that would help a bunch.

Part out
 

Checked his site and did not see any shafts.

Send Him a question I notice some times he doesn't always put everything out there for sale

Scored the flat bar metal that I needed yesterday free of charge.
Paid $22.00 for drill bit thing to drill the holes with.
Drilled a trial hole with my battery drill and it did great. I had it set on 200 rpm. Did a great job.
Will start laying out the metal to start bending and fitting to get the correct length and correct bends.

Walter, I sent You a message. If You can Just send me an email address, I'll send the Pictures I took of the 3-point rocker shaft since the forum limits the size, and it might be hard to make out the Tape measure on such a small picture

Could you get a side picture of where the lift cylinder hooks to the rock shaft.

Walter I sent You all 3 editions of the 207 Manual in an email.
It should help with some of your questions

3 point hitch
 

Thanks a lot.
Downloaded and printed them last night.
That will help a lot.

You know, I collected all the Parts for the 190-207-100 (every single Part) & the 190-365-100 (I haven't ordered mounting hardware or O-rings), and I'm still one hose short on the 190-365-100. I probably have close to $2,000, if not more, invested. I invested more than what the 190-207-100 cost new In 2010. Furthermore, I have this oddity: I try to collect the Hitch (weather 3-Point or sleeve Hitch) Before I have the Tractor. As I hate trying to track down the hitch after I get the tractor. I did that with my Cub Cadet Original, 106. John Deere 140H3 (with two Cat 0 3-point hitches and an integral Hitch) John Deere 112Square Fender Though the Cub 106 and the JD 112 were rather easy, I bought the IH 3-point from MTD while waiting on, I think, the 1st owner of CC Specialties to send me a narrow frame IH 3-point and Brinly adapter. The integral hitch for the 112SF I bought from an employee at my John Deere dealer, as He didn't need it anymore for his 1974 John Deere 112 Square fender he bought new, as He used a walk-behind tiller for ground prep for his garden. I bought a reproduction clevis Hitch (sleeve hitch) for my Wheel Horse 416H about 2 years before I found the Wheel Horse 416H. I bought a Simplicity 7016 Sovereign, which came with a 1-point Hitch (sleeve hitch). I removed all the 1-point hitch components before I sold the 7016, as I wanted to find a late-model Simplicity 18H Sovereign. I have both the Simplicity 1-point hitch for the non-suspension Simplicity Prestige. I also bought the 1-point hitch for the suspension Prestige Model. There's kind of no point in finding the suspension model 1-point hitch, as you have to remove the suspension when you mount the 1-point hitch on that Prestige Garden tractor with suspension. So I'll Just look for a non-suspension model, the Prestige. So I found that usually, once I get the hitch, I get the tractor within a few years. In My Cub Cadet 3208 case, I found the last part I needed for the 190-207-100 a week or so ago and initially went to buy a 3225 as the 3208 was advertised with a leak. But The owner of both tractors said he would fix the 3208 leak (RF Houtz), so I decided to get the 3208 instead of the 3225 Plus the 3208 already had a second lever and AUX Valve 1 with 1 set of outlets installed. So since they had to take the 3208 apart to fix the leak, they said they would install the 190-207-100 since they had to disassemble the tractor to fix the leak.:ThumbsUp:

Update 3 point hitch
 

I know its over kill, but I only have $20.00 in bearing blocks.

You will have issues IF you run chains for winter use.

Chains
 

I live in the south so I don't have to worry to much about snow removal.

Hey Walter How is Your 3 Point hitch coming along ?
