Default Receiver hitch for the 1572

Yesterday I decided to make my own receiver hitch for my 1572. I didn't really like the idea of having my loaded trailer pulled by bolts threaded into an aluminum housing. All my trailers also take a 1 7/8 - 2 5/16 ball.

This hitch also ties the rear frame into the axle tube bolts. The plate on the back is 1/4" and the sides are 3/16". Total cost to build was about $35 including the new hardware.

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.
