Sleeve hitch box blade question

[John Wheeler]

Looking at a briny bs-381 sleeve hitch box blade for my 1450. I have whatever comes on the tractor I just got with the tiller. What all would I need to run the box blade with all the parts I already have? I’m not sure what all is part of the tiller and what is part of the sleeve/3 point hitch. I haven’t looked myself yet. Thanks in advance.

Post a pic of the rear of your tractor.

No idea what that 1st picture is of, but the others are all part and parcel of the tiller mount.
I do not see any lower three point brackets as they are, again, part and parcel of the tiller mount/gearbox support.

This what the IH 3 point consists of.

I recently added a brinly 42" box blade to my Cub 149 and it works great. You may want to consider getting the larger 42" version, the extra couple inches past the rear wheels is very handy and is good to "swing" it when turning and get into places where the rear wheels can interfere with. Hard to explain but it works well!
Here's some pictures of my setup.

John,
What you see mounted on the rear of these Cubs in the last two posts is what you need to utilize sleeve hitch attachments.

He's got all that. First picture shows the gearbox bracket and the lower 3-point bracket. All he needs is one of those extended sleeve hitch adapters from Xtreme Motorworks so he doesn't have to take off the tiller gearbox and he is all set to go. That and get some proper clevis pins to replace that eye bolt...

I agree on the 42”. The deal is on the 38” and for the price difference, I’m not sure I want to double my cost. Because now I want to spend twice as much to get a new 42”. Thanks!

PLus the pin with the 1/2" horizontal hole.

That’s what I have assumed/figured out by the others pics. Off to extreme motor works it is! Thanks

I'm going to post this as a new thread but I'll add it here also. I bought one of those aftermarket sleeve hitches and I had issues with it bending which this box blade and cinder block. After a few hours I'd run out of adjustment to get the box blade to raise off the ground. The pin went from 90 degrees up and down to about 50 degrees, pretty wild. Here's some modifications I made to strengthen my sleeve hitch after bending it back straight. Ain't gonna bend anymore!
