Default 3 point hitch

I would like to fabricate a 3 point hitch for my 149. I think I can make one that will work, however, I need to know the length of the lift bar, and how far back from the front the slight bend is made. I plan to make the with a piece of pipe and weld the lift arm on it. I have the installation instruction as outlined in a brochure but there are no dimensions on anything.

I can cut the rod that extends through the frame and put a pipe sleeve over it and then weld the lift lever and another pipe to hold the protruding left piece onto it.

Anyone with some dimensions would sure be appreciated.

I have looked in to doing something like that but ended up buying everything because it was easier than trying to reinvent the wheel on average I believe I have around $70 in each of my 3points I have added to 4 tractors

Default 3 point

There are several on Ebay now, they start at $150 up, then the sleeve hitch is about that much more.

Do you want a Cat 0, or a sleeve hitch?

Here is a thread for a NF, with dimensions.......NF 3 point.
Here is athread for a Cat 0...... Cat 0 on a 1450

Or, get a hold of Patton, he's has a little better price than E-Bay. Bottom line, if you want stuff, it costs money. And, from my experience, it's usually cheaper to buy, than like stated before, trying to "reinvent the wheel". It's really not that much money.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
