Cub Cadet sleeve hitch?
Did Cub Cadet / MTD make a sleeve hitch for the 1811 and the 1863? I would really like a 3 point but cant really spring for one anytime soon, so I thought that would be the next best option. The problem is I cant find were they ever made this option.

In short....NO
The aluminum rear end poses a problem with durability and strength. There are several ways to modify the rear end to make a Sleeve Hitch work. Forum member Bill Cook went this route. He added the Rear Plate from a Cat 0 (190-388) kit, and modified it to work on his 1711.

I have the one from xtreme and it is well designed and I think it will hold up for most uses. The plate that they make wraps around the lower housing and bolts into the two axle holes on the side of the rear end. If you pull that out then you probably have more power than I do with my Mag 18. The other thing is to check ALL of the rear end bolts routinely and not let them get loose because that will strip the threads and weaken the whole rear end. What I have found is that the wheels will lose traction before the load on the sleeve hitch gets to the point that it will fail. But plowing in rocky soil where you get unexpected jolts and coupled with loose bolts will certainly lead to problems. Also, get the rear bracket with the double ears on it so that you can use hitch pins to install or remove the sleeve hitch without having to remove a rear wheel to install the long bar.

Well I've pulled the snot out of several things with my rear end and I don't notice anything loose or moving on the rear end. I think that if you look at the shear strength of the two axle bolts that go through the hitch bracket that Xtreme makes it is unlikely that you will ever have pull out issues unless you enter a pulling contest. Remember that on GM's big block aluminum engines the lifting bolts are the carburetor bolts to lift a 500 lb engine.

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.
