I own a Gannon Earthcavator that was originally manufactured to mount to a Simplicity garden tractor. The mount looks a lot like a Cub Cadet mount, but is narrower and maybe shorter.

I’ve removed the original mount and plan to replace it with the appropriate mount for a Cub Cadet.

I could guess at the spacing and length, but since I’m doing it, I’d like to do it to as close as possible to what it should be. Is there anyone out there that owns an Earthcavator for a Cub Cadet willing to share the dimensions with me? I need to know the inside spacing for the arms on the mount and the distance from the Earthcavator frame to the center of the mounting holes. The Simplicity mount used ¼ X 1 ½” material for the two arms but I could see they were already bending. I plan to use 3/8 X 1 ½ inch stock for the replacement. Any help would be appreciated.
 
I'll be honest. I didn't even know Gannons were made for cubs! Sorry I don't have measurements but I like it anyway
 
Thanks, Earl. I got the dimensions and made the conversion.
