Not Cub Cadet But I'll Make It Fit !
Went to an auction yesterday and picked up a pretty rare desirable attachment for a John Deere tractor. Good thing is it isn't green or yellow.
Didn't know for sure what it was or what it fit, but had an idea it was a good thing to latch onto. It had a tag on it so I researched the numbers E0721. Turns out to be a 53C mid mount blade for 140 John Deere garden tractor. According to some John Deere collectors, the 53C blades are scarce, sought after and pricey. Well, I brought it home for almost a Lew price and think I can make mounts to use it on a Super. Pictures will follow when I get it out the truck. I think a mid mount blade would be pretty handy.

OK, I'll get the blade unloaded so I can get some pictures of it. I don't think it will be too hard to fab some brackets to mount it under a Super.

I would like to see this too. Anyone ever see one and did IH make one?
Dad "made" something like it, drilled holes in the mower deck on the 108 and bolted a 3x6 to the back of the it to smooth the yard in his now house in 76. That was his way of doing things. He would let the grass get too high then cut it and bitch about it leaving windrows. His answer to that was to cut the back of the deck off so the grass could come out anywhere in the back!! I am sure that didn't do the deck rigidity any good!! I think he traded it for a now Yazoo three wheel mower not long after that. That mowed good but was useless on a small hill and all it could do was mow. Mom loved the little cub, she never mowed the grass again after it left.

Interesting, how well do they work? I know it is like a grader but with the short wheelbase I wonder when running over stuff with the front how hard it is to keep a level grade. How quick can you adjust it to hold grade? Guess I expect a little too much from these sometimes.

Well.... not many of these things are out there, so the amount of people that can attest to how well they work are going to be few. But lets look at it from a comparison standpoint. The front blade hangs a couple feet in front of the tractor. Any movement on the rear tires is magnified in the front proportional to how far the blade is from the rear tire and the pivot point (front axle). A one inch hole that the rear tires dip into may be a one or more inch rise on the front. Same is true with a rear mounted blade. Even though the wheelbase of the tractor is short, with a center grader blade any movement on the wheels would be reduced by half, as opposed to equal or a tad more. So.... a one inch hole now affects the blade by only 1/2". How fast can it be adjusted?...... As fast as you can move the lever. It's attached to the same lift as any other attachment.

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.
