I know this site deals with older cadets, but.
Due to a fire in which my old sears garden tractor burned up I am now the proud owner of said 2550 with a mower deck and 42 inch snow blower.
This is what I would like to know, can a sleeve hitch be put on the series tractor? I has a spring assist lift for the mower deck. The dealer has been no help on this at all so any responce will be useful.


Thanks
Russ

I've got a sleeve hitch on my 2544, I'll post some pics when I get home, or I probably have a post showing it somewhere on here.... The sleeve hitch is electric. I use a 10" brinly plow with no problems.

I put a sleeve hitch from sears on mine, not much was required to modify it and it was for a older model so I got it for $70. Told my neighbor that they had another one and he got it for $50 a week later. seems to work good with
a box scraper, that all I have used with it so far.

Pictures would be a big help. I can do most any modifications needed if I just knew where to start.

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.
