149 blades
Hi guys, .... just a little note here to tell you what I did this spring, I had overhauled my 149 Cub in the winter, it was running great again and no oil use, this worked out really good, new rings and a valve job, I snugged the rod by removing a little metal from the rod cap on the side of my shop saw blade, worked perfect.
Anyway... my 3 blades were getting worn, slanted back as they do get from endless sharpening, it was time to do something. I used my big impact, took the blades off and brought them into the shop. I used the torch, cut away the slanted worm part of each, then ground everything clean of slag. I got two old blades from the junk guy in town, same thickness as my blades, I cut the now missing pieces from those, welded them to my blades to bring them back to new shape, then sharpened them as they should be, also checked the balance. Put them back on and what a difference, the machine cut like brand new again, those blades good for another few years and when they wear out I'll do the same over again if need be, far cheaper than buying new. Where there's a will there's always a way .... as they say...  Warren, in MN

Please don't let anyone near you and your mower while you are mowing with your home made blades. The few $$ you may have saved are just not worth the risk. A new set of blades on Amazon are like $50.00 ask your self if a trip to the ER is worth it. OK my Rant is over now.

Just re read your post and I missed how you "Machined" your rod cap. Buddy all I can say is that the Big Guy Up Stairs is looking out for you.

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.
