Par for course, an MTD

that falls apart!
Here are some pics of the damage and what caused it. Notice there are missing bolts from the right side, a broken bolt on the right as well as a missing bolt, and just my luck, the right side housing was cracked! I have a good source here in Illinois in Montrose, who has lots of tractors; infact he calls it the cub boneyard!
I actually traded two snow blades for one complete setup. Almost complete, just missing the raise and lowering rod. No problem to make one of those! Basically, less than a hundred dollars and the problem should be corrected, never to return (I hope)
