Default My newest attachment, carry-all
I built a carry-all that attaches to my sleeve hitch. I added hinges and a handle to it so it can be dumped from the seat of the tractor. It comes in very handy for hauling grass clippings and sticks to the burn pile. I had about 200 lbs of sandbags in it the other day and it worked fine for that but the front of the tractor was extremely light. I also welded a piece of pipe to my homemade spring assist as a holder for a 3/4" wrench to adjust the anti-sway bolts on my sleeve hitch as well as the down stop on the lift handle.

The hitch piece is a 4.50" long piece of 4" x .25" wall tubing cut lengthwise about 3" wide with a 5/8" hole for the pin. There's a piece of 1/4" plate welded to it that extends down to the bottom of the 1.50" x 2" tubing. There are 2 gussets welded between the 1/4" plate and the bottom of the hitch piece.

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.
