Cub Cadet 400 Tiller on a GTX2100
Just to update those who care... on my Cub 400 Tiller with the JeffinPa Sleeve Hitch to 3pt adaptor all I can say is WOW.
You've already seen this pic, but I am going to be like CAD!  Did run into a problem though, first 2 minute of running there was a clanging noise, shut it down immediately and found the center/middle shaft in the gearcase had worked itself out and the gear was now off. Ouch! With some discussion with Joe Knight, (thanks Joe), I ripped it apart and spilt the gearcase to find a total lack of any lubrication grease at all. Like none. Also, the two bushings on the middle shaft had completely failed, and looking at some tarry, solid grease material at the bottom...this had happened awhile ago with little bits of brass lodged deep into the tarry mess. Gearcase as is, no grease.  Bushings, note the bottom one is a new one bought from my Cub dealer in town, the other two are the old ones. One is completely torn apart, the other 95% torn apart. Nice  While I was in there, decided to replace the two main bearings and oil seals on the bottom tine shaft as well, they were fine but I don't plan on doing this again. The tine bolts were bad, wore pretty badly, and had ovaled out the holes in the shaft. Recommend to anyone who has one of these to check those bolts for wear and replace before the they oval out your shaft as well. The middle gearcase shaft was OK-ish. These are NLA, so I took some fine emery cloth and worked it all around to smooth out where bushings damaged it a bit.  Put it all back together, filled with 10lbs of grease, new gasket and a few new bolts where some old ones were bad. Will post some action shots. This thing rocks! Put on free-float setting on the sleeve hitch and she digs as far as I will let it! Hitch adaptor from Jeff is absolutely A1 quality work.

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.
