The pics. of the blade on the 1440 are like the ones i have, but the QA mount is missing on his setup and i'm not sure but it should hook up to the mower lift links without using the extra flat straps. This style blade could be used on lawn or garden tractors depending on the mounting frame you bought. it was a cheaper, lighter version for someone to use on gt's.

The Hydro Gears can be very abrupt when changing directions, because of this they are prone to this sort of problem. Just my 2 cents but I think they are as bad or worse than the Supers when it comes to problems with the trans mounts. Ask me why I have rear end braces on both of my 1641's.
I agree with you Sam I don't think the blade setup led to the transmission mount failure but also don't think it helped it either. I don't see any support at all on the front and when snowplowing people are going to ram snow and hit stuff like uneven or level surfaces and all that jolting transferred back thru the channel that leads to the rearend I can't believe did it any good either. My 0.02. hehe

I would like to see pics of your setups Mark. I have never seen this setup on a garden tractor and looking at the cub cadet site and partstree I can't even see it listed so I'm just more curious then anything what this setup looks like and why mtd would offer this setup.

You may have to remove the rear hitch plate to get a good look at the top of the axel tubes. Not a big deal only 4 bolts. 9/16" wrench and you are all set.

We are all here to learn Jeff that's what is great about this place.
I have been around cubs all of my life and never seen that plow setup on a GT so I learned something today.
As Sam said hopefully it didn't shear frame to rearend bolts or axle tubes.

Some pics. of the mount parts.I can't get to the only complete one it's under a couple feet of snow. most of these blades i've seen were on old narrow frame tractors.Maybe because of hard to find mounts?The extension on the tube under the tractor allowed for use on several applications

That looks like a pretty good setup.

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.
