To put a bow on this attempt for guidance and information gone wrong, I did purchase the tractor today. After it was home I was able to determine through heavy layers of paint that it is a Craftsman blade, and I was successfully able to look up the model of the blade online.
So, part one of my reason for posting I accomplished. Getting new skid shoes for the blade. They were still available. Thankfully.
As for finding out what all is needed to replace the IH bracket, the Sears blade and the homemade lift system with correct Cub Cadet if I so decide and choose, that remains for another day.
