SGT 3PT Pics
Can someone who has a 2182 (or similar SGT) that has a 3PTH please upload a pic of the rear support plate? I'm used to the "beefier" upper link attachment on the regular 82 series 3PTH, and surprised of the simplified design on the SGT support plate. The pic of a SGT plate doesn't even look deep enough for the upper link to fit. What size diameter is the upper link pin?

For some unknown reason, the SGT upper link mount is smaller, and takes a non standard upper link. It uses a smaller pin. 5/8" IIRC, not 3/4".
I'd suggest cutting it off and changing the upper mount. A mount with 2 or 3 holes is better.

Yes, the top link is very wimpy on an OEM hitch plate and you won't find one that doesn't need modified to fit.
DSCN0809.jpg Bill Ruegg's hitch is much better and will take a standard cat 0 top link. DSCN0560.jpg As Jon said, grind off the existing one and space it out to accept the standard cat 0 top link. You may also be able to use a top link from a 3k hitch. IIRC they are made different and should fit.

Top pin is 1/2'' instead of 5/8'' I put a flat 3/8 bar with a 1/2'' hole in it welded to a 1'' square tube with a 5/8 nut welded to the bottom and use the same lower link.

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.
