Default Dads adapted Sears 3 point

My dad always used Sears/Roper 3 points on all his cub cadets. He built the adapters to make them work with manual lift or hydraulic lifts. They all work great. They are much easier to adjust and work with than the brinly setup. You can make the equipment perform just like a large ag tractor.

Pictured is one he did back in the early 80's when this 782 was new.
The planter started life behind a David Bradley walking tractor. It was made by Cole for Sears. Dad converted it to 3 point and added the fertilizer distributor back in the late 60's to use with a Cadet 100 that he had back then. The sweeps and tool bar are from a Roper cultivator.

I Just used it today to plant my garden. Just put in the seed and fertilzer and take off. It lays the row out, drops the fertilizer and seed, and closes the row up all in one pass. Works like a dream just like it has for the past 40 plus years. Just thought to take a picture and share it. Figured others may be interested.
