Default Crane mounted on the 1872
This crane is really over kill as far as the capacity for the back of the 1872, its what I use in the back of the truck so I didn't have to spend anything for this add on. I have some manual outriggers on order, I'm afraid to pick up much weight without them so I havnt done a real weight test yet. I'm thinking it will work out ok.https://www.etrailer.com/static/imag...301_5_1000.jpg I bolted this to a sleeve hitch receiver adapter from Johnny Products but it is done so it can be unbolted easily. As it is now I can still put the hitch in and hook up the trailer to load into it or use it as a tow hook to rescue a broken cub.

I've been planning to build a crane for the rear of one of my tractors, sure would be nice for moving decks and other heavy parts around.

I did a similar crane project using a truck crane like yours.
I mounted it off the 3 point hitch and added crazy wheels to help carry the load. I rigged up a lift attachment to use to move "dead" tractors around.It w

I bought a 1864, it's just grown from there. The Cubs have replaced old Chevys as my hobby/passion. The only car I have left is a '67 Chevelle wagon.
Seems like a good trade off. I can put five Cubs where one car sat and there are no titles or license to fool with!

I have a 1862 frame that I want to steel the power steering and pump/ rearend from for my 1863 but want to do it from the warmth of the garage, This will get it in there. And as you mention many other uses. I'm not as young as I used to be so this should be a back saver.

I saw your post awhile back I thought that would be useful for me. Thanks for the nudge I don't have anyway for my sleeve hitch to float so wheels wont work that's why I chose outriggers I'm sure there will be some tweaking to it as time goes on. I like your tow bar that looks like a great addition.

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.
