Sleeve hitch with electric actuator project
 

Many moons ago (1996 ish) I bought a 20/50 mtd huskee garden tractor from tractor supply company. When I bought the tractor I bought a sleeve hitch for the tractor, here lately I've put the mtd up for sale with the intent of buying a cat 0 from xtreme when the huskee sold, but every body wants it for next to nothing and that cuts into the funds that was going to pay for the cat 0. I decided to pull the hitch off and adapt it to the cubs. What my plan is to make the rear plate that goes across the back of the frame a "fast attach" so I can use the sleeve hitch on my 1811 or 1863. At this time I'm at the initial planning stage so I'll have to see how feasible that will be. I don't know if I can attach any pictures I have windows 8 that's a whole other project. But I will try.:bigthink:

My guess is you can run a rod where the top link attaches and weld a tab to that and hook the one end of the actuator to that an the other end to the briny adapter

See if this post I'm doing is of any help to you as far as a lift is concerned.

I rotated your pic for you.

Thank you Sam! whats the trick to that? I wish it wasn't such a pain to get pictures from my Iphone to my computer to the forum. Does any body else have the same issue? I looked at your thread, I may have to make the (pivot) plate that bolts to the tractor still planning so I don't know yet . The huskee had the pivot point already in the plate that went across the back of the frame. BTW that's a neat idea to use a winch is there any down forch issues?

All I did was to save your pic and then rotated it then reposted it.

Yeah I think that will be the path I follow. I've pretty much got everything figured out except whether I want it to float I'm thinking not, Now I just have to find the materials and the time to get it done.

updated pics all that's left to do is make clevis mounts and of course wiring

Good job! Thanks for the update and pics.
