Default Frankenstein Bolts
I'm new to this so I'm trying to learn the jargon. What are Frankenstein bolts and what is their purpose? I know they are associated with sleeve hitches but that's it.
Thanks for your help.

They are used to hold the top casting in place on the rear lift. Part #1 in parts lookup.

Okay, got it, now what are the two bolts with jam nuts that I see on every version of a sleeve hitch? These are the bolts that are on each side of the tube for the hitch pin. What is their purpose? Thanks again.

They are used to adjust how far implements are allowed to sway side to side or to prevent them from swaying at all.

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.
