Brian,

Do you mean the parts labeled 1 & 2?



If you find two, let me know where the second one is.

[brian kov]

Don, parts 1 , 2 , and the bracket that holds'em .except the threaded rod on your pic is from a lo-boy . std. cub is threaded all the way up .it is possible to fabricate one out of a lo-boy set up and i have all of thew figures BUT the thread that is cut on that rod is tripple start acme thread ,which seams to be rare . i got 2 quotes to thread the rest of the rod that i have [ 170.00 & 865.00 } after the rod is threaded the rest of the way it would get cut off and a simple 1/4 ' hole drilled near the end then that part is done . then the depth adjustment screw housing would need lengthened a lil' . i just can't pay that much if i did my fasthitch would cost me somewhere around 650.00 so i am still lookin . i talked to a guy near me and he just sold a complete fasthitch for 150 if i could buy a whole hitch reasonably i would do that and then we could have xtra parts for a fasthitch , im sure someone would like to hav'em .

[brian kov]

on the other hand i do have an xtra depth control fo a lo-boy fasthitch,it is missing the handle on top but the rest of it is there

[Don McCombs]

Hmmmm.....

Looking at the parts diagram in the TC-37F, you are absolutely correct. I didn't notice that before. Maybe that's why mine is welded together.

I'm working on a possible solution to mine. I'll let you know if I'm successful.

[brian kov]

i have another solution as well it would envolve buying a 5 ft. stock of acme thread from mcmaster carr in oh. then put a couple holes in it , in all the right places then take the lo boy bottom housing piece and add a piece so it is the right lengthand weld an acme thread nut to the top .you would also have to mill out the tripple cut threads so as to not interfere with the nut . then you would have to duplicate the bracket cause all i have is a lo-boy bracket but it looks fairly simple i would just need some dim. then were set

[brian kov]

Don , is your bottom housing piece for a lo-boy 521-403 r1 or hi cub 522-690 r1 also the manual shows the wrong hanle on the lo-boy ,they both have the same handle i think so any how that is what my lo-boy fasthitch has . the one they show is the handle that goes on the bask of the lo-boy fasthitch

[Don McCombs]

Brian,

My housing is the 522690R1.

[brian kov]

you have the right housing now we can get a perfect dim. for that piece . now if we could only find a cheap way to thread a lo-boy rod . ther seems to be a few of those floating around

[Don McCombs]

What dimension do you want?

And plan on doing lot of cranking.

[brian kov]

Jim , thats the only part of that plan that has me still looking for the proper pieces or getting the lo-boy rod threaded further Don i need the dim of the bottom housing . from the center line of the bolt up to the top would be all i need as long as you dont include the weld in the dim. the other dims. that i would need is the size of the bracketry and the angle but a template would probably be best , since it has that offset at the top

[Don McCombs]

Overall length, C/L of bolt hole to the top of housing is 15-5/16 inches.
