Pictures of completed box blade and comparison with original IH #40 Box Blade.
Note the quality of the material and workmanship. It was all done first class and first rate by AFI. I could not have asked for better results. Amazing job that far exceeded my highest expectations! Really looking forward to working on the next project with them.

Pics of Box Blade mounted on my 1450
Thank goodness for hydraulic lifts! This box blade is a BEAST!!! Much heavier and stronger than the original!
Original IH #40 weighs about 70lbs. The one that we have made weighs closer to 100lbs.

Last of the comparison shots before painting. Once paint and decals are completed, then I will finally be done with this project.
It's been a pretty long road to get here, but certainly well worth it. Just cannot say enough about the quality of work AFI did on this piece.

I will be posting more pics of action shots as time permits. I do not expect to get the box blade back from paint until sometime next week.
In the meantime, should anyone have any immediate questions, please feel free to contact me through PM or at: nashcub1 at yahoo dot com This has been quite an experience. I welcome any and all questions, comments, and suggestions.

Superb craftsmanship & outstanding quality. It's great to see a shop who is willing to attempt something like this - especially when things turn out like this. I wonder if they know how big of a hit this is with the OCC guys. I'm also curious about when you'll be taking orders, what the turnaround is & if you know roughly what the price would be.

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.
