2804 ReceiveR Hitch reinforcement
One more request for suggestions.
I ordered a receiver hitch from Extreme for my 2084. Of course, I ordered the wrong one and got the version for the 3000 tractors. I bolted it up anyway as it had the same bolt pattern as the existing trailer draw bar. It extends down another 4 inches with 2 bolt holes. As it is, it flexes too much to be useful. see photo I looked at the correct part on Extreme website, and it just uses the 5 original bolts. I assume the receiver tube is moved higher so that nothing extends below the frame plate. If that is the case, is it strong enough to take some weight? I have seen a photo, probably here, of someone using their CC with a receiver-mounted engine hoist. I'd like to be able to do that, as well as move some heavy stuff using a hitch rack. So, long story, but has anyone here done something to reinforce this mount? The best I can come up with is to machine a block to bolt to the differential and pick up those two lower bolts on this mount I bought. I think that would be stronger than the "correct" receiver mount from Xtreme I might also double that backplate. Suggestions welcome!

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.
