Default Adding a Sleeve Hitch to 127 (has tiller now)
My dad has a 127 with tiller installed. It came with the Brinly U framed sleeve hitch. The gearbox for the tiller is there, I assume that needs to come off? What about the lift arm?

Pictures would be great.

Thanks

It can either come off or I make an extended sleeve hitch adapter that will clear the tiller mount. I can supply a longer lift pin too.

About how much do you extend the arms?

Do you have a picture of one installed with the tiller gearbox?

Thanks

I make it 1" longer and move some other pieces around to make more room to clear the tiller mount.

Since I custom make to order, I'll have to make one to take pictures. I cut some pieces tonioght and started drilling some holes. Hopefully I can have it done by this weekend. If you like what you see, you can purchase the one in the pictures. If not, that's fine too ( not a pressure sale-- if you like it, buy it. )

I have an extra set of lower arms for a tiller that I want to use as the adapter to reach beyond the gearbox. The hitch plate on the gearbox will not allow it to lower all the way so that hitch plate will need moved to the end of the adapter. That should make it easier to lift the trailers with a ball though. If you make the adapter you may want to allow room for the hitch plate on the gearbox or make such a plate for the Brinley hitch adapter as I'd like to do.

When I first put the gearbox on and used the tiller, the gearbox worked loose and I lost some fresh hy-tran. I was concerned about breaking a bolt or the threads in the case so I didn't get it tight enough I suppose. Now that it's securely mounted, the risk of loosing the hy-tran again makes me want to leave the gearbox on full time. I don't see a need in removing it.

With the lift handle in the middle


All the way up


All the way down


It fits the cub mount


I don't have the sleeve hitch adapter mount ( yellow piece in the above picture ) mounted on my tiller tractor. I slid 1/2" pins thru the holes into the tiller mount. I also ran out of time to make an extended lift pin so I slid one of my regular lift arm pins out one inch to simulate the extra length of the extended pin.

Frist time seeing 2 spring assist being used at the same time. That's got to help lifting the tiller.

That's on my 122. The brinly spring assist only works on gear drives as there is insignicant clearance on a hydro between the trans and tunnel. ( it doesn't work on my 125 ) I have the IH spring assist on both the 125 and both on the 122.

Tiller is still heavy but managable The front blade feels likes it rides on air. The only negative is that you literally have to push down the mower deck

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.
