Rear cable question on 308- 8

Recommended Posts

Little 308-8

Happy Easter.   I bought a clevis hitch to attach a blade on the back of the tractor.  Question is, what picks it up?  I see a little tube and I found a tube and cable set on ebay, but if I have the tube can I use a cable from tractor supply? I also didn't see where it would attach to under the tractor.  

2 side questions, anyone put a smaller drive pully on the trans for a little more speed?  

Adjustable, electric lift?  Gettin picky on this one. Lol

Thanks for the help.

The tube is a conduit for a cable that is threaded on one end and a ball on the other, the ball fits in a clevis that attaches to the rock shaft that goes through the frame in front of the trans that lifts the deck the threaded end also has a trunion which pins to the clevis/sleeve arm this is what lifts the attachments (rear blade plow ect) , you could probably make one work from TSC but some things aren't worth the aggravation IMHO, Jeff.

Hello to "Coast Guard City" and welcome to Red Square! You also need the rock shaft that the cable end goes to. A chain then goes from the rock shaft to the hitch.

Ill have to see if the rock shaft is up there tomorrow.  Think your right on the cable, see if I can get that also.  Coast Guard = elephant ear stands. :)   Thanks for the quick replies.  Love this little tractor.

You need the rocker shaft that works on Wheel Horses with the gas tank under the seat. The older style is longer and won't fit between the gas tank.

I'm guessing this is what the cable attaches too.  Seems to line up with the tube.
