Yes Ivan, I had not seen one under $200 and I had been watching for a
 cheaper one and not finding one. Surprisingly it was at a tractor show
(Greensburg IN) but nobody knew what it was and I wasn't about to tell them.
:-)
 It was sitting upside down next to a blade off of a Wheel Horse. It looked
kind of odd and awkward laying that way. I couldn't believe I bought it
that cheap. It has the square bushings for front mounting wired to it along
with the lift lever attachment that I can only describe as a steel
boomerang with holes.
:-)
I already have the cross bar for mid-mounting. It was on the Cub when we
bought it many years ago.
I first saw one back in the mid 1950's at the Indiana State Fair when they
were doing the tractor square dance thing with Super C Farmall's demo-ing
the new Fast Hitch. They were using a Cub with the mid-mount grader blade
to level the show ring between performances.
