Default Anyone ever re-lined a front blade?

I was given a front snow blade with mounting hardware, but the blade body (not the frame) is rotted out from laying in the woods. Anyone ever rebuild one of these with new sheet metal?

Unless you have access to the steel, rolling machine, and drill and welder, a used blade is CHEAP!!

Could also be bent with a press brake.. Or a piece of a scrap snowplow blade or maybe even an old air or water tank section could be used...Take a trip to your local scrapyard and see if anything looks like a similar shape there.. Assuming they sell stuff.. It will be good fabricating practice, if you like doing that sort of thing.

How bout half a 55 gallon drum. Reinforced the edges. Or an old fuel oil tanks! That would be huge! Unless your looking for a project I agree with finding another is cheap. But it does sound like a cool project.

A well water storage tank works great. you would want the old non-bladder type, they are like 12" dia. and heavy steel. you may need to try a few to get one that is clean enough inside. It helps to have a plumber friend! They have a galv. (zinc) coating DO NOT breath the fumes when cutting and welding!!!!!

I will rebuilt a meyer snow plow, I had had 98.00 dollars in buying and having the steel rolled. Yours should be less than half that. Have the top edge bent in a brake and have the holes punched for the wear edge and weld it back on. Hope this helps.

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.
