Default Sleeve hitch with electric actuator project
Many moons ago (1996 ish) I bought a 20/50 mtd huskee garden tractor from tractor supply company. When I bought the tractor I bought a sleeve hitch for the tractor, here lately I've put the mtd up for sale with the intent of buying a cat 0 from xtreme when the huskee sold, but every body wants it for next to nothing and that cuts into the funds that was going to pay for the cat 0. I decided to pull the hitch off and adapt it to the cubs. What my plan is to make the rear plate that goes across the back of the frame a "fast attach" so I can use the sleeve hitch on my 1811 or 1863. At this time I'm at the initial planning stage so I'll have to see how feasible that will be. I don't know if I can attach any pictures I have windows 8 that's a whole other project. But I will try.

My guess is you can run a rod where the top link attaches and weld a tab to that and hook the one end of the actuator to that an the other end to the briny adapter

Thank you Sam! whats the trick to that? I wish it wasn't such a pain to get pictures from my Iphone to my computer to the forum. Does any body else have the same issue? I looked at your thread, I may have to make the (pivot) plate that bolts to the tractor still planning so I don't know yet . The huskee had the pivot point already in the plate that went across the back of the frame. BTW that's a neat idea to use a winch is there any down forch issues?

Yeah I think that will be the path I follow. I've pretty much got everything figured out except whether I want it to float I'm thinking not, Now I just have to find the materials and the time to get it done.

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.
