Default Pondering a new backside

Just picked up a 2072 to go with my H48 thrower. No rear hitch. Turns out the front PTO has issues as well. Anyway. I do have an extra sleeve hitch that I could use but it has the aluminum rear. Since I happen to have a parts 1250 sitting there I am wondering about the pro/cons of changing them out. I would like the additional weight of the cast. And I would feel more manly too. lol
I need to make the rear and front operate separate. Appears the frame is quite different and no material in the upper frame for Frankenstein bolts. Saw a blade mod on the site with a upper cylinder that i can operate with aux hyd. So really only need the lower mount on the sleeve hitch system right now.
Or should I just bite the bullitt and pick up an extreme 3pt that I want anyway...

Call Bill Ruegg and put the correct hitch that is built every bit as well as the extreme but cheaper and a lot heavier. Make sure the 6 bolts holding the rear are in good shape and if you can put one of Sam Macs rear brace kits on it. If you go cast Iron on the rear you need to change the guts out for it to work properly. There is nothing wrong with well maintained aluminum rear.

Oak gave you some very good advise. If you do as he suggested you will never bust the rear in that tractor plus you will be able to do more with it than a sleeve hitch setup.

Yeah it is really want I want anyway. Just looking for short term that would get me up and running for snow. Was not aware of others making the 3pts. It will have summer duty of keeping up with a few farmalls so plan to work it from time to time.

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.
