Convert blade subframe from Original to wide frame
I bought what the seller said was a snow blade and subframe for a wide front cub, but after getting it home I realized the subframe looks to be for an Original (and slightly hacked to make it fit a wideframe). It seems to mount ok on my 129, but there is little room between the front of the tractor and the blade, which I think will limit lifting height and angling the blade (there's even a brazed repair where the POs front right wheel wore through the blade). It came with a new lift rod which looks like it would fit a wideframe subframe, but is too long to work with the subframe I have. I guess I'll do a little welding to extend the length of the subframe, I found the proper dimensions here. Has anyone seen pictures/instructions from someone doing this? I couldn't find anything.

Rather than trying to cobble that together, try putting an ad in the wanted section for the correct sub-frame and put an ad in the for sale section for the sub-frame that you have.

Wow.....I looked for years for the correct subframe for my original and to think someone out there had one and made a wreck of it for means of re-purposing it for a cub that it was never intended to fit--OUCH!

Yeah, the fingers that fit over the footrest bar have been cut deeper, and one arm is bent in to make it work on a wide frame. I got it fully mounted it on my 129 and it fits well enough, you just can't angle it all the way without rubbing a tire or raise the blade all the way. I guess I'll use it as-is until I can find a proper wide-frame subframe.

Yeah that thing is jacked. You will want to swivel that blade the full extent a times, and as it sits, that ain't happening.
As the others mentioned look for what you need and you'll be better off in the end...

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.
