Been using a cub 149 for about 30 years to mow and push snow, but ever since grandpa brought that first one home when I was about 8 years old, I always longed to see the three point lift something anything. Well about a week ago I traded for a brinly plow, cultivator and a 1a tiller. So after looking at many pics and a schematic that I found here. My son and I fanned up a sleeve hitch.
Everything has been working out great except the learning curve for adjusting the plow. Anyway the other day I hooked on the cultivator and for no reason I now seem to have downforce or pressure. My garage and cubs are a couple miles away so I haven't been able to check it out yet. Hoping someone might know why I all of a sudden have down pressure but never changed anything. Before I could always grab the three point and lift up . Any idea's appreciated |

Pic of sleeve hitch my son and I made. Lift bar and straps are temporary but work fine till I find some proper bar and flat stock.

Did you do something to the float lock-out pin? Take the tunnel cover off and look at it. You should be able to see why it isn't floating.

Thanks for the response, I haven't changed anything under the tunnel since putting the three point on. It's like it just locked by itself while testing out the cultivator. Hopefully I'll get to garage tomorrow to check it out.

Were you welding the hitch while it was on the tractor?

Nope I've taken it off each time I sparked the welder .
Wandering what could have happened if I did weld while it was on though. Always eager to learn |

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.
