3 point hitch question

[Calvins66Cub]

I got a #1 tiller and almost everything to install it (I have #1,2,4). I am lacking the 3-point lift bracket (#3 in picture). It looks simple to make. I was wondering if anyone has one, and get a couple basic measurements. I am having a hard time seeing how it attaches. I have looked at several diagrams, but nothing shows how it attaches to the handle.

It attaches with two 5/16-18 bolts. On my 125, I was able to put that piece on the lift strap and feed it thru the back to bolt it up.

( now the bad part )
When I put one on my 122, I had to disassemble the inner ratchet plate to bolt up the piece. Then side the lift bar in place and reassemble. The fun part was getting the cotter pin in and bent.

( the good part )
You can use both the brinly spring assist on the lift bar and the IHC spring assist with a gear drive narrow frame. Not enough room for the brinly spring assist on the hydro models

Part number 5 is just wider than the lift strap ( by 1/16" ) and bolts fast to the lift casting with a 1/2-13NC bolt and washer.

I don't have one off a tractor to measure and don't have an electronic version of the 3-point installing instructions (couldn't find it in the technical library either).
So, let me try to explain.. the attaching plate has two threaded holes for two 7/16 X 7/8" cap screws. You install the plate to the lift bar with a pin. Then attach the plate with lock washers and plain washers and cap screws through the slot in the lift handle in the threaded holes in the plate. The bottom cap screw must contact the bottom of the slot in the lift handle.
I have to unbolt the lift assembly from the frame to get it all together, putting the pin in can be a real pain with the space you have to work.

Good luck,

I have a sketch somewhere of that piece from when I made the 3-point for my 126. I'll try to find it and post it for you.

I have #3, If you pay for shipping you can have it...

Another part to reproduce.
wide frames and narrow frames are different though.

I have to see if I can get measurements off my 125. I will need dimensions of a wide frame unit.

[Calvins66Cub]

I guessed. I used some scrap 1.5 diameter bar stock, and came up with this.
I seem to get enough travel. The hitch goes from about level with the ground to about 30 degrees up. I also got my spring assist installed. The tiller is next on my list.

This is what I would use for part # 6 in your pic. From Xtreme
http://www.xtrememotorworks.com/Part...rts%20List.htm click on Sleeve Hitches

The "Xtreme Hitch"

End the fear of ever pulling the bolts out of your rear end! This has to be the toughest sleeve hitch on the market. The extra side tabs help eliminate the bracket bending in on the sides, with or without dual pin plates.

Made from 1/4" Grade 50 steel.

Made to fit the either the cast iron rear ends or the aluminum rear ends found in later CCC tractors.

Must either buy the aluminum or the cast option when ordering.

Got questions on how an original 3 point lift system goes together or about what parts are in the kit? Then click the link above for detailed part numbers.

4 Hole Single Tab - W/ears
Cast Iron
CC-29-030A

Then I would get the lift from JeffinPA.

Pics are of my 121 with the Xtreme and JeffinPA hitch and my plow.

Thanks for the info Sam Mac. I am putting on a #1 tiller. That is the main reason for the hitch install. I have to evaluate the gearbox and mount next.
