I just got a gt18 without this hitch. Hopefully I can find one and get it up and running! Thanks for this info.
Good luck!
Thanks for watching
Here is a link to Murphy, Mower, hoodies, and T-shirts😃

Very neat . Never knew how one went on . Thanks for sharing !!
I think I did video so I know how to do next time - ha
LOL , I think you have it under control !!
do you have used one for sale ?
I do not - I have a few but there are all on different machines
I am new to the Garden Tractor world. I purchased a GT6000 with the 20hp Onan motor. Having a heck of a time finding parts in my area. I know this is a newbie question. But the Clevis looking turnbuckle that’s between the top and bottom of the unit. What’s the proper name for that part? My tractor is missing it, along with a bad actuator that AYP doesn’t make anymore (my tractor has the actuator mounted out of sight). I need that part and I cannot find it to save my life. I know I’m not googling the proper name. Thanks for all your videos, they are very helpful.
Gosh I’m not real sure what the correct name is for that either but it seems like you could probably purchase something similar at tractor supply, I haven’t really looked for one but it seems like it would be a universal product-if nothing else you could find a piece of rod and made the bends as that particular peace really does not get adjusted very much
good job I have gt6000 Hydro have moldboard plow and Roto Spader cannot find this type sleeve hitch anywhere. Would like to buy one from you if possible. I found old FF 18 Hydro seems to be complete minus side panels has large Peerless rear live category 0 3 point hitch looks like about six week rebuild
If Ff-18 is a great tractor and yes those hitches are getting harder to find, unfortunately I do not have any extras as all of mine are in use, the best way to find them is finding a craftsman II for sale and typically they’re already mounted and you have to buy the whole tractor, good luck and thanks for watching
FYI the upper hole in the deck arm under the tractor is where one end of the electric assist mounts on that particular model of tractor, also the older tractors with the horizontal engines used a couple of extra arms on the lift arm and a different arm going back to the hitch
Good to know- thanks for the comment
What is the make and model of the hitch you show in the video.? All the hitches I see online do not use the mower raise/lower lever, which I'd like to use. They all have an external lever. My craftsman Professional 24 hp has the mower raise/lower lever on the left rear fender. Thanks for posting the video.
These are very common on the early 90s Craftsman but when I get home this afternoon I will try to find a number
@@MurphyMower Thanks. Looks like the current models do not hook up to the mower height adjustment lever. I may have to get one and modify it to work. Thanks for your videos.
I looked at the tag and this is the best I could tell
Model number 917.25331
Serial number 1519B05135
I hope those numbers are accurate and it helps you
Good video , I have the manual lift lever do you know where I can get the piece running under the tractor
Not really- basically a rod- bet you could make one
Has anyone had any luck finding a kit for these? At this point I would take an aftermarket built one as long as I don’t have to sell a kidney.
These kits are hard to find, but I did make this video because of that at least showing measurements. It really should not be that difficult to fabricate especially if you have some parts.

I think you can still buy the manual lift online
The one with the handle to the side
I’m not 100% sure it would work on the older tractors , but it would be a good starting point to fabricate from
any leads or know of a place where these are available
Sorry I do not
I have a few, but they’re all on garden tractors at the moment
I’m always searching marketplace and if I see one on the back of a tractor I’ll usually buy it
But all of mine, are you at the moment?
@@MurphyMower anyway could get some measurements for the bottom piece. would be very appreciated. update i bought a tractor that had the factor sleeve hitch . but missing the bottom piece

Try this video😀
@@MurphyMower thank you so much
Cool looking Dog, ok here is what I got, 95 GT6000 I have no height lever for deck. The Tractor did not come with the deck, I want some kind of sleeve hitch for this tractor can there be some kind of Elect drive mounted to that sleeve hitch, So that I can mount some kind of rear plow to it. The tractor has spent its whole life pulling aircraft out of a hanger and that was using a front mounted Pino hitch...
This may give you ideas

Thanks for watching
The dog said thanks 😊
That craftsman would make a nice monster mower lol
They are strong machines
Would a gtv sleeve hitch fit a gt18?
Probably
If the backplate looks the same it should
Would you sell me a couple pieces to put mine back together?
Let me know exactly what you need
But unfortunately, all the sets that I have right now are currently on different tractors been used
@@MurphyMower I need the triangular bracket at the back and the long bar that goes from the back to the front to attach to the lift handle I only have the lifting bar that is mounted to the back that has a long bar and a very short bar together the pieces are need are called the bail assembly
I would love to, but that video was two years ago since then I have sold a few of them locally and the other ones are in use
Good luck if you have any measurement questions I would be glad to help
I’m pretty sure I have another video similar to this where I actually got out tape measure and measured all the parts
Do you have any for sale? I have a gt 5000 I would like to get one for!!
I do not have any extra at this time- these are getting harder to find these days- good luck
Would you interested in selling your extra hitch parts. Mine does not have the lift arm connected to the back like yours does. I'd like to install one on my 1998.
I sold one about a month ago so as of right now I have no additional parts but if I run across a Any additional I’ll keep you in mind, thanks
Would you be willing to post some basic dimensions of that bar that runs from the front lever to the sleeve hitch? I think I could make one if I had some dimensions.
Give me a few days and I’ll get you some dimensions
U want to sell one of your extra rods? I have the rest of the parts except the brakits for the pins I'm allso missing those .sad times
I cannot sell it but if you’re interested I don’t mind getting the dimensions for you, should be fairly easy to make
