Any suggestions,....?
My model 72 is coming to my new home, where my wife and I reside. The garden tractor engine, drive train, steering, and carb have been all rebuilt my Dale. Can't say I have more than 20 honest hours on this tractor since rebuild.
I had left the 72 at mom's house set up with IH 42" blade, so that she, or any family member could come over and use it during the winter to clear the drive. Mom is selling out her house and property, so I just got conformation this morning, that I can come get my beloved 72 after my wedding!!!! So, I was thinking. I have two 42" blades. I'd like to make a 54" out of the two. Are there any concerns, or thoughts and suggestions before I cut down a push blade and weld those lengths up to my good blade? I know, the project is straight forward, have to ask any how

I know it may not be what some of you want to be made aware of, but not throwing down on a nice, original 54" IH blade. At least I'll have parts left over from my old blade, maybe bake a back blade some time out of it, lol!
Anyhow, this is the plan. Gonna get started on it soon!

I say go for it, I've thought about doing it myself because the bigger blades are almost impossible to find but the 42" blades are around by the hundreds.

I'd go to the local welding shop and have a couple 6" pieces bent for the ends and weld them on. Why waste a good blade for the extra width.

Im gunna 3rd or 4th that motion. But im a sticker for being able to take something back to original condition for restoration purposes.
Would cost very little to have extensions rolled. That said, good luck with your project. Hope you put up some pix!

Seen some nice blade extensions added, around the 'net! Think I'm going to make a 56" IH snow blade for my 72! Going to cover up the 1450 with 38" deck in the garage, and start this project as I tinker and do things to the 125.
Thanks guys, I'll be updating once I'm started!

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.
