Default Box Blade ID: IH 40?

This blade looks remarkably similar to the IH #40, but unless they changed them over the production run, it may not be one. There is a wide, curved cutting surface on the back side, similar to the backfill attachment, but it's welded on.

I picked it up for $50 and by drilling just a handful of holes have adapted it to the 3-point on my 882. As you can see I was able to leave all the original fittings intact, and will be able to connect it to a 149 or the like. By the way, most of my 3 point had to be replaced with parts from Xtreme and I am completely impressed by the materials and workmanship.

As far as the blade and Cub setup, it works like a dream. I've been backfilling about 200ft of sprinkler system trench and it sure has saved my back.

That is a beefy looking blade. Excellent price you paid for it too..

Thanks for moving the thread, dunno why I can't seem to remember that.

Yeah, it's working out great. It has just enough weight to be a perfect landscaping tool.

It does look very similar but I would say that it is not a true IH. My #40 has bolt on blades and the sq tube is also bolted on. I would say it is a very well made copy. Still a great deal and a nice blade.

Yep, nothing is bolted on like the IH blades. Maybe it's an ancient Brinly copy. Anyway, sure works great.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
