You made 3 posts in 2 .5 hours on a Friday evening. Give people some time ! I don't understand what you are trying to say in your posts, either.

I ASSUME he is referring to sharpening a wide blade many times????
All well and good, but how is one going to put the lift wing part back on after it wears to a knife edge and falls off, and no longer lifts the grass to be cut and goes badly out of balance?
Then there were those blades that used a replaceable "tip" much like a sickle bar knife, they didn't do as well as they were promoted to be.
There again I'm trying to read someone's mind and I can't remember what I had for breakfast.
Some things wear and need replaced, like tires, Batt-trees, belts and blades.
Not to mention fuel & lubricant.
They are considered "consumables"

I did not understand as well. Makes no sense to me what you are asking. Need more info.

Does not make sense but the only way to make them last a bit longer would be to do some serious heat treating and bashing with a big hammer
Or mow less frequently

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.
