Not sure if this is the right place to put it but here goes.
I am wondering if the 120 takes a special lift rod for the sleeve hitch? If so does anyone know where I might find one or be able to make one? And is there any difference between the mounting of the hitch like if it was from a sf 110?
More questions to come as I think of them.
P.S. I got the 120 back together turns out it broke the flywheel key so just got a new key and locking flywheel nut and runs great now.

rex check out www.wfmfiles.com
scroll down to where it says integral sleeve hitch, then click on the link that says lift link dimension drawings. shows you everything you need to know to build your own lift rod.

also the sleeve hitch attaches to the 120 the same way it does to the 110.

Has anyone ever built one because I am not very good a major fabrication. On another thing is I finally got the wide rims painted and turf tires for them. Would have liked to have bar tires but I've had these new tires sitting around for like more then four years. I'll post pictures if it when I can or when I get done.

rex i built a lift rod from the plans in the wfmfiles website that i posted. really not that hard to do but if you don't have the tools available a local steel shop should be able to whip one up for ya if you provide the plans.

jims lawn and garden (one of the site sponsers at the top of the page) sells the lift rod that you need for $68.

Rex,

We made a hitch from those plans also. Instead of bending the metal we welded at the bends. Turned out pretty good.

Seeing the rod really helps.
Also anyone have any tips on beading up tires on the wide rims?

Got the Tires on and done, but wouldn't you know as soon a I finish them the left tie rod breaks. Man if it isn't one thing it's another.
