Dads adapted Sears 3 point
My dad always used Sears/Roper 3 points on all his cub cadets. He built the adapters to make them work with manual lift or hydraulic lifts. They all work great. They are much easier to adjust and work with than the brinly setup. You can make the equipment perform just like a large ag tractor.
Pictured is one he did back in the early 80's when this 782 was new. The planter started life behind a David Bradley walking tractor. It was made by Cole for Sears. Dad converted it to 3 point and added the fertilizer distributor back in the late 60's to use with a Cadet 100 that he had back then. The sweeps and tool bar are from a Roper cultivator. I Just used it today to plant my garden. Just put in the seed and fertilzer and take off. It lays the row out, drops the fertilizer and seed, and closes the row up all in one pass. Works like a dream just like it has for the past 40 plus years. Just thought to take a picture and share it. Figured others may be interested.

This comes at a great time as I'm contemplating a 3pt. for my 1872 so I might use several of my Sears/Roper attachments on it. In the normal slant position a Sears 3pt. snaps over-center so the weight of whatever is being lifted is then concentrated on the 3pt. linkage. The operator no longer has to strain to hold the load. Mounted vertically as you have it, perhaps all the load is on the hydraulic system??? I can't make out in the pictures if the factory Cub Cadet rockshaft is connected to the lift or there is a straight link from the lift cylinder to another connection point on the Sears rotating (rockshaft like) horizontal shaft? Maybe a couple of more photos to clarify this for me. Thanks for your post, Steve

I think I see how it works. It looks like the original IH 3 point rod hooks to the top of the sears 3 point.

Sears 3 point
Steve,
It does use the factory cadet rocker shaft. He came out of that and built a fork as such with two lift links that he welded to the factory sears cross shaft. in this configuration it does not over center. The ones that he did where he used a manual lift lever like the Sears do overcenter. I will try to get some better pics for you tommorow. He has quite a few different implements that he uses with this setup. Some of them are just the way Roper/Sears built them and some he has built or modified. At one time 20 years ago he was tending at least 15 different gardens with this setup. People would pay him to come over, turn the ground, lay out the rows, plant, and later cultivate their gardens. Back in the 80's this little tractor with the Sears equipment could make him $25 per hour. He hauled it all around to the different customers on an IH #7 tilt bed trailer. It is pictured in one of my albums. I'll work on some more pictures.. we have this setup on a 1450 also... it is a little more refined and looks a bit more factory. Both work well. Thanks Jay

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.
