It depends on the guy behind the shield!!

It is easy to braze, but, quicker for a skilled welder to weld with nickel rod.

Default Welded
Any mild steel wire will do. Stick weld or with a mig, which ever one you have available. Easy fix.

The brazing filler "pollutes" the base metal and makes it extremely hard to weld. Even if you grind or sandblast the area, it still won't weld properly.

You might be able to get some snot globs to hold it together but your best bet now is to have somebody else braze it again.

I snapped the ear off where the bolt goes through the front roller. This seems like a cast steel piece (not cast iron) . I welded it with my mig. It did weld like cast steel, not smooth like regular steel, but it has held for a couple of years now.

I think I have read posts on every coating known to man!!

Nothing works!! Bare steel is best. Any coating will partially fail, allowing moisture under the coating.

Once moisture gets under the coating, that area will selectively corrode.

This is what causes rust perforation.

Paint it normally, don't mow wet grass, and scrape off the buildup regularly. It won't rust out if you keep it clean.

I'm going to try some truck spray-on bedliner. I know others have done this but haven't heard any results.

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.
