Did managed to get the hydraulic blade cleaned up. It had been used pretty hard - there were a couple spots where the PO had welded and it needed the welds ground off and redone. Some thick paint and looks ok now.

It cleaned up ok. For a wear strip its getting a piece of stainless bolted to the bottom (I like to be able to run it directly on the asphalt drive - if I dont get it scrapped clean it packs and builds up an ice layer)

What it looked like previous. It did get sandblasted and the smaller pieces got a zinc epoxy powdercoat primer with powdercoat color over that. The blade got Martin Senour with hardener. We will see how it holds up.

Some of the pics look like the paint is dinged but its not, just some dirt/grease speckles I managed to get all over it putting it back together.

Notice the bracket where the lift arm goes. Its a slot, but then has another small piece that bolts across it to hold the lift rod in. Its what came with it, but I have no idea if its the right piece or not (although I do know it works).

Thanks Sam. Definitely the preferred method over what I did....

Another reason why we need to have 4-5-10 tractors. If you only had one, you would learn all these things and then wouldnt have anything to try out the learning on. So its taking me 2 or 3 just as a learning curve. (my wife isnt buying this, but its my story...)

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.
