3 Point Lower Lift Arm Dimn?
 

I would like to be able to convert my sleeve hitch to a 3 point of sorts so if I come across a implement that is a 3 point that I cant live without I'm able to use it. The dimension to the outside of the sleeve hitch is 14.25. According to the info I've read a cat 0 is 20 inches so I'm looking at the cc-03-006 lift arms does anybody have a set they can measure and tell me what the offset is of these arms so I know if it is enough offset to give me the needed 20"

Hope this works here's a link

Thanks for that link, :beerchug: I had read that but it didn't give me the info I needed. I need to know what the distance is on a already made product to know if they will work for me.

Google "3 point hitch dimensions". Very first image.

Thanks jmech! I've read that also, that's where I got the 20" dimn. It still doesn't give me what the offset is for the cc-03-006 arms to get me from the 14.25 to the 20" I need. I'm looking for arms that give me roughly a 3" offset.

Woody, your going to have to do the math on your own. You won't find what your looking for. Your going to have to make it, or modify and existing set. Just a little math, it's not fussy.:beerchug:

John, I think woody wants to take an off the shelf arm and use it instead of making one. He needs one with 3" offset, I don't know what the stock arm offset is. Maybe an easier question for members to measure is how wide are the lower 3 point arm mounting points on a cub cat 0 hitch. Woody's mounting points are 14.25 apart, if the cub mounting points are +- 2" it should still work because of the movement allowed by the spherical rod ends.

Yes asking the question from that direction will give me what I need also. And pointing out that +- 2" would work and helps me in my design :beerchug:

Woody, what are you talking about???? :bigthink: Wide and narrow frames using different arm? The frame is the same width at the rear no matter what machine.... and they didn't install Cat 0 hitches on narrow frames. That didn't come about until the 982. It was the first CC with a Cat 0. Are we talking about the same things?? :Huh:

Sorry I was going by the arms shown on cub cadet specialties web site and extremes site two different style of arms which I assumed was for a special narrow frame version and a wide frame. Its not their misinformation just my bad interpretation and lack of knowledge, my apologies. A simple question is sure getting complicated lol
