I don't know too much about sleeve hiches. Are they universal across the board or what? Is there a specific model for a specific tractor? Will a Craftsman sleeve hitch at Sears fit a Toro 400xt or will it just fit a Craftsman Garden tractor? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

I would imagine the mounts would be different for another brand tractor. The basic design should be similar but I wouldn't imagine a Craftsman hitch would fit a Toro.

Generally speaking the "hitch" part that the attachment hooks to is universal. But the other end of the hitch that attaches to the tractor is usually brand specific. The tractor frame widths and pivot points and lift arms are gonna vary from brand to brand. Knowing what tractors are clones of others may allow you to use a Husqvarna hitch on a Sears Craftsman of the same size, or a Toro on a New Holland, etc. But since these things are basically just a metal bracket, if you are handy and can weld, you can probably modify one from one brand to fit another, or better yet make your own from scratch once you borrow the dimensions from the store bought model /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
