Default Tiller Bracket Measurements Needed.

I have a 149 and a #2 tiller but the mounting bracket is missing. I won't be using the corner drive (belt) so I want to fab the tiller arm mounting bracket.
I'll also fab a sleeve hitch set up based on that mount.

If someone has one of these brackets, I'd really appreciate if they could take a couple of measurements for me.

The width, outside to outside and material thickness.

Height of the bracket.

The distance between the top arm mounting pin and the two bottom holes (on the side of the bracket)

The distance from those holes to the back side of the mounting bracket.

I've searched the forums and the net and anything I can find, the links or pics are dead. But on the brightside, I've learned a lot from traveling down all the "rabbit holes" the search has taken me. I'm very impressed with some of the top quality work down by some guys. I'm also impressed with some of the ingenuity, if not always the execution of some projects, basically good old raw redneck!

Great site for a Cub newby. And I'll definitely do a pictorial of the process and progress. Thanks!

Cub Cadet NEVER made a Sleeve Hitch Adapter in conjunction the Tiller Gear Box.

I have seen people custom make them, to clear the Tiller Gear Box. IIRC, they used 3/8" x 2" flat stock. No dimension were given.

You're right. My intention is to fab the bracket that the tiller arms mount to. I don't need the right angle drive mounting portion. When that bracket is built, I'll build the rest to suit. The tiller will be converted to a hydraulic drive.

Easiest for someone that has a tiller mount bracket would be to take pics with a tape measure in the appropriate places.

Ok, apparently there are none in captivity that someone could measure.

But I found a bracket and gear box that I can buy and have shipped across the country. $150 plus freight. But that would leave me looking for a mule drive, which would also have me buying in the east and shipping west. Then the belts.

Right now I'm leaning toward building the bracket based on "best guess" measurements and mounting a spare 14HP motor on the tiller until the auxiliary hydraulic system is installed.

I think I replied, but being the tech whiz I am, I may also have just applied for a Nigerian credit card. Thanks.

Big thanks to ole'George for taking the time to measure and draw up a sketch of this bracket for me. And threw in some other info and food for thought as well, all for the same price! Free!!

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.
