Building a snow blade!
I put my tiller project on hold and started working on a snow blade tonight. We'll have snow soon, and I won't use the tiller until spring, so I had to prioritize. So far, I cut the tops off of a 50 gallon drum, and split it directly in half. Next I put the two halfs together and tapped holes for bolts, and that's where I'm at. I have 1/2 inch long machine bolts with lock washers to hold the two together. Tomorrow I'll be picking up enough 1 inch angle iron to build the frame to be welded on the back of the blade, and the arms to attatch it to my tractor. I got three steel plates that are 3 inches by 1/8 inch, and the length of the drum, for support, they'll be bolted at the bottom, middle and top of the blade. Anyone ever tried this? If so, advice is always appreciated. Also, someone told me that the cub blades somehow attatch to the rear hydraulic lift near the cylinder, so the rear lift will actually lift the front blade. Doesn't seem possible to me. True or false?
Would it be hard to get another lift to install on the front? I'll post pics of the blade project when I get a little further.

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.
