Just an update to say there is no update. I bought 4 diesel mowers and a cushman truckster at an auction a week after buying another project GT, and my yard is overflowing while I figure out what needs fixed or parted out. That and 60 degree temps put a hold on the blade redo. I'm down to my last $100 in my business account and getting rid of inventory (and getting stuff listed on Ebay) takes priority right now.

Naw, 3 Toros and a Jacobsen. All are reel mowers. (Watch the interest drop) I'll have to say, with warm weather unexpectedly showing up, a bunch of work waiting for warmer weather is #1 right now. Parting a Deere 318, selling some older projects & mowers. I am selling a rough looking but great running 125 Cub with my other 42" blade on it.
Going to start it at $200. If it sells, it sells. Got to thin the heard by 10 or so at least.

It's been awhile.
I started working on the blade again. Just in case it ever rains, I'll try and smooth out the dirt some with this on my big cub diesel. I have decided to make it fairly light duty. After seeing how heavy the frame is for a real 54" blade and the 4 spring setup, I decided instead of bending stuff, I'll just use the 2 trip springs (which are all that's recommended using it for snow anyway) and that should keep me out of trouble scraping dirt and plowing snow.
I'm going to just use the rear blade to do the initial dirt busting on my allis WD45 and then smooth it some with this. That's the theory anyway. I have the front part of the original narrow blade subframe welded to an old wide frame mower deck front attaching piece, and need to extend the rear to fit the super rear attaching pin. I had some major welder malfunction on my Ltec welder and got an aftermarket welding gun yesterday which got me back running again. The original narrow frame lift rod bent like a pretzle the first time I tried lifting with it. I used another linkage I had laying around off some Deere like application, and it too bent immediately. The original rod was a stout tube and I'm thinking of using the long steering link off one of the gold course mowers when I part it out, but I managed to stiffen the 2nd rod with a tube welded over the main link and that cured the bending and it lifts fine now. probably wouldn't hurt to have a helper spring but it does raise fine as is. Pics when I get to it again. Possibly tomorrow.

I thought I had updated it since then. I did manage to scrape the ground smooth and spread put this dirt. It is mostly in grass now. The blade works fine, even for dirt, but I had to make the lift linkage out of scrap, and it looks it. I have another lift linkage link ready to go made out of the solid bar front to back steering linkage off of a Toro Groundsmaster 220D. No paint on it yet.

Though I KNOW I took photos of me working with it, I cannot find them. I'll take some when I get it painted and back on.

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.
