I've seen 3 sleeve hitch part numbers available for various Craftsman Garden Tractors and know that the 486.24586 is listed as the correct part for my GT.
However, I can get a 486-24536 for about 1/3 the price of a new one ~$40 and have accessed the Owners Manual for both. All the parts except the sleeve hitch frame are exactly the same part numbers. The picture of the frame looks very similiar but doesn't give any size dimensions.
Does anyone here have any first hand info on if the 24536 frame will fit my Craftsman 247-289840 GT Pro. It looks like if the frame opening is big enough, with minor mods I could make the frame work. Also, for what purpose do you suppose they would make these two different frames and make the statement the the 24536 will ONLY fit the 917.xxxxx series GT?
Thanks for any info, I really enjoy this forum and the expertise you have here.
