I found them for around $5 on ebay, with $10 shipping. I emailed the seller for a shipping price if I bought 4 or more, no reply.

From what I can tell on the Cat 0 ball ends, they are 1" wide, the Xtreme page says these are exact replicas of stock & uses Cat 0 ends. But the gap on the rock shaft on my 1782 is not 1" wide, no way it would fit.

I'll come to the "Rescue" and post the link where cool guys get cheap ball ends.

Go here and put in your zip, pick a local store. You may be able to pick them up local or just have them shipped, I had them shipped.

Do you mean the gap for the toplink is not 1" wide? It's not, you need a special CC toplink with a smaller end or modify your toplink bracket to fit the standard ball end. The rock shaft should use standard ball ends.

Right, it's not an inch. Maybe 3/4"

My lack of knowledge of the sgt 3 pt setup is showing. Sam's got the right information.

The "Garden Tractor" uses bigger end links than the "Super Garden Tractor"?

Sound to me like you need to just buy a set already made. I don't think you have any idea what you are trying to build.

Scrap yard for steel, "nickel and dime'n" the cost of the rod ends..... Good grief. If you had bought new steel and just ordered the rod ends off the cheapest ebay place you already saved quite a bit.

So because I ask questions, look for cheaper parts & go to scrap yard for steel equates to me not having any idea what I am trying to build? I have an idea, I have it drawn out, but thanks for your encouragement.

Yeah.....

I'm going to politely say, that I disagree, and that I don't think it's fair to ask us to find you the cheapest parts. That's just a matter of searching until you find a price you want to pay.

No the SGT's don't use bigger ends. Cat 0 is Cat 0. However, the GT and SGT lift arms are different, as shown in the pic Sam Mac posted.

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.
