Can I make this plow work?

Here's the best I've got for a picture. That piece you are talking about is the lower 3-point bracket, and is part of the IH 3-point hitch assembly.

Oops, that picture is just the 3-point with no sleeve hitch adapter. The sleeve hitch adapter consists of the U-shaped piece of metal, 2 clevis pins to attach it to the 3-point lower bracket, either lift straps (OEM) or chains (what I typically use) to connect the sleeve hitch adapter to the upper cast-iron part of the 3-point hitch, as well as a couple more clevis pins for the straps/chains. You'll also need a 5/8" hitch pin to connect the implements, and I'm sure some people will say you need a draft plate (someone must have a picture) but I never use one.

Once again, thank you. I have none of these parts on my tractor. It almost sounds like I need a 3 pt hitch set up for my Cub? And then some type of linkage to go to my hydraulics to raise and lower.

There are 2 more different styles sleeve hitch adapters that Brinly made. I have both. Will try to get pictures of them.

Here ends Merk's picture library!! He's good!

Hey Merk,
Thank you very much. I can finally see what everyone's been talking about. Unfortunately, I have absolutely none of these parts. But now I know what to look for. I understood the sleeve hitch adapter, but was confused on the "yellow" parts bolted right on the tractor. What are they called as far as looking and ordering?

[Matt G.]

Those parts are the 3-point hitch.

[Jeff122]

Thanks Matt. I've been looking for a 3 pt hitch. All the ones I see advertised are never for a 122. What other model Cubs are compatable with a 122?

[Mountain Heritage]

Couldn't you just make them? That is what I am planning on doing??? Am I nuts?

[Matt G.]

Jeff122-

Any 3-point meant for a narrowframe will work.
