This is the instructional video for installing a 3-point Quick Hitch kit on your Farmall Cub.
Nothing comes close to the versatility of a modern 3-point hitch for your Cub, and it installs in under 15 minutes! Heck this video is only 10:30, and I do a bunch of jawwing. The 3-point has done a lot of work since this installation, and I haven't touched it beyond this 10 minute installation.
We've done the trial and error, and this exact kit is in use every day on farms, keeping those Cubs working!
Man . . . I'm beyond impressed with the 3-point adapter. I'm going to have to install one on our international cub one day. I think it is a 79 model. Hope to do a small series on restoring it. Probably doesn't have 1,000 hours on it. Grandpa treated it really well. Thanks for putting this video together. When it comes time to throw one on mine I may have to reach out! Looking forward to subscribing and seeing more of your videos. - Samuel
Great video, Brother! I'm looking for a little Farmall Cub as we speak (we already own a Farmall 140......looking for one a little smaller to go with it.....). Glad to see you were able to recover all the nuts and bolts you dropped in the grass! 😁
I like it and great idea !
I fabricated a 3 point hitch for my Cub a couple of years ago. The main problem I've had is that finding implements that the Cub hydraulic system is strong enough to lift. Anything over about 400lbs is too much. I'm thinking about a different design now that will use the stock drawbar hooked up to the rocker shaft.
I put a 3-point hitch on my cub 20 years ago and found it not very useful. Loads too far back, unstable. Could barely lift a landscape rake. Could not lift a boom pole. Maybe you should have video showing what you've found works with this 3-point hitch.
Well, wouldn't you know it - my web address and video didn't agree. Now they do! Check these out on Ebay or directly on my website to save$$. My Cub has been doing good work for me on the farm for over 2 years with this exact kit. Your Cub can WORK for you!
How much weight can this system lift? We recently bought a little cub and have only used it to pull a drag around the arena. We also got a plow and mower. But everything is apart and I just haven't had time to try to assemble anything yet. It's nice tractor and I don't want to get it all muddy so I'm waiting for dry weather.
Would you consider coming up with a manual lift arm for a Farmall B? I want to get a Woods 59 mower but I have no way to raise or lower the mower without the manual lift.
Looks pretty good, but I wish you had the camera a little closer.
What’s the black device up next to your seat that moves with the rocker arm?
Thanks
It's a 1,000 pound worm drive cable winch. It can raise/lower the rear 3 point independently or with the front hydraulics. I need to upgrade to a 2500 pound winch. Anythign on the rear multipies by about 4.
Under fifteen minutes, as promised - including finding every dropped fastener.
Do they make something like this for a super a as well?
Has anyone tried this on a lo boy?
You did good work on the hitch. Anything for a Super A yet?
I have thought of it - I even saw one going by on a trailer the other day and thought of chasing him down. If you'd like to be the guinea pig, we can get some measurements and I'll send you a prototype. Email me - you can find my info on the website.
Not yet. Keep checking back. It's on my list for the fall.
We put 3pt on our super C. It was aftermarket off an H. Had to remove the belt drive gear box to make it fit. I have a few 3pt implements that won't work on a quick hitch for various reasons. For a cub they'd have to be very light.
@@TractorInnovations I'll be the guinapig i have a farmall a I would love,to have 3 point hitch
Where did you purchase the adapters that connect to the final drive?
I fabricate all of that here in Muskogee, OK. Call or check out my website for more info and order.

Do I have to have my rims turned out or it should work just how it is with the three point
It should work with the rims all the way in. You can measure to be confident of this. The kit is 28" wide. The narrowest wheel spacing on a cub is 40" (center to center), subtract the width of half of both tires (8.4") leaves you with 31.6" between the tires. We've got over 150 if these in use, and no customer has had any trouble with wheel spacing.
Real question does this work with the woods 59 c2 mule drive yes some modifications would be required to mount the mule to the bottom brackets of the 3 point but im wondering about the clearance of the lower bracket and the center support bar hitting.
I think the mower and mule-drive mounts wouldn't allow this to mount in the right spot.
@@TractorInnovations I might pick up a bracket kit and test it out on the woods cub. All else I’ll just put it on a different cub.
would this work with the super A
This kit won;t quite work with the Super A - I've got plans to get ahold of a Super A and build a kit for it... Coming soon...
I tried to find your website but it keeps saying. "Server not found"?
Dang, you sent me the message when we're high into farming season and I didn't see it. i fixed the address today. www.peaceofprairie.com/farm-innovations Thanks for looking!
Try it again - I've updated the website. www.peaceofprairie.com
That is allot of weight to hang off those small hydraulic systems. The hydraulic cylinder is to small for a three point hitch. I have always saved the hydraulics for implements only. Looks very well made though.
will this work on the farmall a? do you have one for a farmall a?
Sorry, no, it won’t work on a Farmall A.
How heavy of an implement can you lift?
About 300-400# I have an extension in the works for the front side of the rock shaft, which would double that. An implement that heavy, though, you'll need weight on the front of the tractor.
Looking forward to seeing video of it in action. I want to buy one after I finish repairing my cub.
Check out the accompanying video. I've built a 12v powered winch system that easily lifts 600lb on the back. I've moved my tiller ~750lb, but it was a struggle - you shouldn't do that every day. Works great for simple implements that your Cub can pull, and for hitching and moving trailers without leaving the driver's seat!
Will this work on a farmall 140?
Sorry, it's dimensions only fit the Cub
Hi, do you still have this product available? I need one... website not available.
YES! It's still available. I fixed the link. Apparently a stray capital letter messed it up. Available to ship the day after you order.
@@TractorInnovations would like to no about the three point hitch for cub tractor
What if my Cub doesn't have the rear rockshaft?
You can often find them used. I've purchased many things from this company over the years and have been very satisfied:

Noticed the black hitch plates already installed on this tractor is not part of this kit,,whats up with that?
The black plates that I install are included in the kit. They go right into the castings on the tractor.
@@TractorInnovations I might buy one now
Will this fit on a 140?
Sorry, no. Farmall Cub only
Any kits for super A's?
Sorry, this kit only works for Cubs. I've taken the measurements for the Super A, but haven't built a prototype and tested it yet.
@@TractorInnovations ok, please let me know when you come out with something for sale please
How can I order one of your 3-point hitch, and what's the price???
$240 for the linkage kit (you supply the quick-hitch). $440 for the complete kit including the quick-hitch. You can call me with credit card 918-348-4134, or check out on my website www.tractorinnovations.com/cub
Jan a sponge over the mic next time.
So I guess ALL of your 3 point equipment has the same pin spacing...??? if not YOU'RE SCREWED!
As with any new system you adopt with a tractor, there is some adjustments to be made. Almost all new implements you can buy will conform to the standard spacing, and most old stuff can be easily adapted. I have over a dozen implements that I can attach and remove in 15 seconds and swap between tractors. It's totally worth the couple of hours of work to get all the implements to conform, and makes it much safer and quicker to attach later. I've got several old implements that just took drilling a new top pin location, in rare cases, and little welding, but adapting them to the quick hitch has been an excellent investment on our farm.
Wind noise...very distracting (not to mention the violet colored shirt).
