Default Is it hard to mount a 3pt hitch off a Sears garden tractor on a Cub Cadet?
Hi guys. I recently got a Sears 10xl in a trade I made. Well I'm wanting to sell the tractor but I really wanna keep the 3point hitch off the back of it for one of my Cubs. My question is how hard will it be to mount on a cub cadet? Thanks for information in advance and Merry Christmas.

If you have a welder and a torch you can do it.

I can't find the picture but it takes an adapter plate and you need to modify the handle to clear the cub cadet fender.

I'm sure it was home made. If I remember correctly, it was mounted at the top where the Cub Cadet rear lift casting pivots and bolted onto the lower rear sleeve hitch adapter U shaped bracket.

What model CC are you going to put it on?

Dad built a really nice adapter bracket years ago that works like a charm... Then you just bend the arm to clear the cub cadet fenders.. The setup works like a charm.. We really like the Sears hitch and equipment a lot better than the brinly stuff.. Adjustments and fine tuning are easier.

I will try to get you some pictures in the next day or so. We currently have the setup on a 128.. Dad probably built 10 or so setups over the last 20 years.

Basically it converts the flat rear cover area on the cub to the angled mounting area on the sears.

Not totally sure. Either my 582special or my 70. Not sure which would be easier to mount it to.

Jay, I looked at the back of the Sears and it looks like only 4 bolts holding it on the back.

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.
