Default IH Box Scraper and Rear blade
I see that International made a rear blade and rear box scraper for the garden tractors but I am yet to see either of these for sale or pictures of them (keep in mind I am fairly new to this). I have only ran across one picture of the rear blade and it was from a distance. Are these attachments not common or am I looking in the wrong places? Can anyone provide some pictures. Thanks

No worries it will show its ugly face sometime!:biggrin2.gif: I am still holding out for a decent tiller to fit my 982 as well as a nice 12" plow! Good thing I am not holding my breath!

Neither one is real common, which is probably why you haven't seen very many for sale.

Does the rake/blade attach directly to the bracket rather than using the hitch adapter?

I'm definitely not going to hold my breath on coming across either one or being able to afford it.

I think i'm going to try and make my own rear blade/box blade combination with a generic plow. I'll probably pick up a plow off craigslist and add sides, braces, and some teeth. The plan is to make them removable so I can use it either way. Anybody know if it will matter if the back piece is a curved blade rather than straight like most pre-made scrapers?

The IH blade/rake attaches directly to 3 point hitch. You do not need a hitch adapter.

Tukn20s-

The curve at the bottom just helps the blade load up better. It looks like the box blade with the round sides isn't well suited for pushing backwards. I'm speaking of the one (picture) with the landscape rake. The boxblade is in the background. I'd love to see it working but never have. The model 40 is simple and designed to push backwards as well as pull. I've never seen any rippers on one. If they were an option and someone knows I'd like to hear about it. I'd also like to hear if anyone has used a model 40. How are the traction issues when the box is loaded. I imagine it would require some weight (and having hydraulics is almost a must). I have a five foot boxblade I use with my Ford 4000 and when it gets loaded it have to feather the rear pto for traction at times and the rears are water filled.

Just my thoughts.....I too plan to build one similar to the model 40 but that will be some time yet. Too many cubs to fix first.

I was thinking of using a front mount plow and reversing it for the rear. I wasn't sure if a curved plow like that would be ideal for a box scraper. I could either make a piece to mount on the back to use it for pushing backwards (similar to that on the IH 40), or just build the mount to allow the blade to mount forward/backwards.

actually the box blade dont lift very hard. the first time i tried it out i had the manual lift on my 129 and no weights or ag tires and i didnt have any traction problems. i was only pulling sand though. if you were pulling more of a clay then ags and weight would make it alot easier.

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.
