I read about the "unavailable toplink" all the time, guess this proves otherwise!!

That is a regular TSC style CAT "0" top link.
Awesome i was thinking of trying that but was worried it wouldnt have enough free movement afterwards... looks like nothing to worry a bout!!!

They probably were longer when new!!



The cool thing about that drag is you can pull a pin, and change the angle of the pins to almost laying down, that is the main reason I "upgraded" this particular drag.

If you look at the side view, there is one hole adjustment more straight up, and two holes of adjustment more laying down.

The shown setting is great for mulch leveling, as well as the garden soil smoothing!!
Didnt see that it would adjust before that is a cool rake...

Default Can you discuss Sears attachments a little more?
I just got a 782 and am a total newb to these tractors. I have a hand operated 3-point hitch and some attachments from an old Sears Suburban. I thought they were Cat 0, but it sounds like I'm wrong.

I want to put a 3-point hitch on the 782. I guess I don't want to use the Sears one.

I don't mind modifying the Sears implements like you have done, but where do I need to start as far as putting a 3-point hitch on the 782?

Thanks, and I hope you don't mind me asking some pretty dumb questions.

Well I got the rake done, But it don't work very well on the craftsman,
the rototiller I mounted on the craftsman worked great,
when I put the rake down the craftsman comes up and the wheels just spin,
where the rototiller helps push the craftsman,
when I get my 1650 cadet cleand up and running good I will mount the rake and rototiller on it and I think the rake will work on it,

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.
