I really like the "lift" or wrecker duty idea.

If only I was a fabricator! Do you have a thread somewhere here with details of how you implemented this?

Well done!

I may ve posted earlier about it but I can't find the thread.
But it's pretty simple.

I'm using the 2" receiver plate from Extreme.
https://xtrememotorworks.com/Receiver%20Hitches.html

Along with a receiver step from Harbor Freight. I had to cut off 1.625" so the extender would fit into the shallow receiver.

And the crane. I bought mine used from CL. This one might work:
https://www.harborfreight.com/12-ton...ane-60732.html

These pickup bed cranes all have a swivel base. I started out with one, but it was hard to control so I eliminated it. Much better.

It's a bit floppy Left/right due to the loose fit in the receiver. Lifting the 3-pt drawbar fixes that. I intend to add some "outrigger" blocks to bear on the drawbar for better stability. If no 3-pt you could probably come up with a pair of stabilizing struts.

Here's a better photo

You might notice in the first two pics there is a receiver hitch mounted under the winch on the front bumper. That did not work, at least for the crane mount.

With a much stronger mount it would be useful in some cases to have a front receiver. Stabbing a small trailer into a tight parking spot for example. Or using the crane to stab an engine. Moving that machine as shown in the first post would have been ideal for a front crane if the cabinet had not had casters.

Still thinking about that.

Replaced the rears today. They were dry rotted pretty bad. These 24x12x12’s fit well.

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.
