Success at last
THANKS .....no doubt.... to some great advice on the forum, today I completed the installation of my front blade onto my 125. Included some pics. Whats funny.....When I competed the install and said "lets try this puppy out".....My tractor decided not to start and I had to tinker with it for 30 minutes. Normally it fires right up.
Gonna have to make me a custom piece in order to try to accomplish my goal. Gravel drive is banked to one side to let water enter ditch as it goes down the hill. My blade of course is level. Gonna try a steel attach in place of blade at bottom that is cut to match grade so as to try to keep my gravels leveled out without costly attachments. Does this sound like it'll work?.........Open for critics and or ideas, advice. Thought I might make it have three connection points instead of seven with one end as a pivot then the center and end att. pt. have multiple holes to adjust grade. It would involve remove 2 bolts to adjust. Is this a logical option for economy sake. I hope its alright I included a picture of my best friend who helped me thru this project also...My eyesight has diminished some (see title name on attachments for example) so he usually reads the instructions.. Enjoy the forum...Thanks guys bobbyjupiter

the blade is only as level as your rear wheels. if you make one corner dig deeper than the other evevtualy your rear wheel will fall into the furrow your digging and it will just go deeper and deeper. if you need to crown or slope the grade you're working you need to start by working your starting point to the grade you would like to achive so that your rear wheels are at the angle your shooting for. You may have to work side to side a little. I hope you have fun.

My brain actually registered that information today CMA'S129. I guess that shows how tired I was by the time I got the blade unstuck, attached and hand forged the lift rod with a minimal amount of propane and a big hammer.
I thought today how I'll have to work side to side. All my gravel ends up displaced cause the little lady keeps ordering stuff and UPS makes a mess of the hill. Thought about building a package shed at the bottom but that might cheat me out of a much needed rear implement. Would ideally like a rear blade with some adjustment capability but I dont have 3 pt or sleeve hitch yet. The front of my tractor chatters like crazy...I don't think its the engine it sounds like the front clutch. Does this have a purpose besides engaging attachments and do they rattle and/or chatter when they are bad? Also anyone reading this ...if I have my back tires loaded somewhere what will this likely cost? How much better traction can I expect on uphill in gravel?

Loaded tires make a huge differance in my opinion. I went to the local HVAC warehouse a couple of weeks ago and there was a UPS van parked outside taking up parts of three parking spots but still halfway out in to the highway. I went inside and asked the fellow in the brown outfit I they had to go to a special school to learn how to park like that. He answered my question with this question," Do you know what UPS stands for----Unlimited Parking Space!

The front clutch is suppose to have 3 anti rattle springs in it, and if they are missing the pto clutch will rattle and make noise. It can sound like the crank is knocking real bad. Easy check. with the motor off, grab front of pto and see if it wiggles left/right a bit. If so, best bet is the anti rattle springs are missing, causeing all the noise you are hearing up front.

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.
