Cub Cadet 611 #1 Posted March 3, 2020 A while back I noticed a few people asking about these hitches on a Facebook page, thought I’d have a go at making some to see if I could sell any. Here’s how far I’ve got. First job was making a jig to put the 90 degree bend in some 10x50mm bar. needed some 1” square bar to fit in the hardy hole of my anvil. This is the jig I made The round bar fits in the pritchel hole to keep it sturdy Works a treat All the same Next hurdle was putting the cranks in the bars, I made up an attachment for our hydraulic press 9 tons of force to put these bends in 6 pmackellow, Alan, Stormin and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stormin 4,458 #7 Posted March 10, 2020 Just a thought, Ewan. Rather than weld the nut on, how about threading the hole? Then the nut can be used as a lock nut. 1 Cub Cadet reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just copied the original but that is a good idea! It would just take a bit more time, I don't mind doing that on yours though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 4,458 #9 Posted March 10, 2020 Just stop the possibility of the bolts losing adjustment. 1 Cub Cadet reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
