Terry is right, just checked and they are listed here. About half way down you'll see them.

Thanks, Duke. I thought I saw them there, but I can not access Mark's site from work - I get the dreaded "Access Denied" thingy from our companies' security. Don't know why - some thing's there that triggers it.

I made a pair from a broken truck leaf spring I found on the road.(almost hit it with my tire)
Just heated it a bit to curve them up on either end and welded it to the worn off stub.
works great!

While we are talking plow skids, can somebody explain to me why to use them. I just bought my 125 in April so I haven't plowed any snow with it yet, but why use th skids and not let the cutting edge ride right on the ground? It seems to me like using the skids would leave more snow on the ground to then drive over and either lose traction or just pack it down and make ice. Am I missing something here? I read that some use the skids for plowing a gravel drive, but what about blacktop?

you have the answer right there, if you have a gravel drive or uneven then you would use the shoes to keep from plowing gravel and dirt. same goes for a snow blower. now it you have a blacktop or cement drive then you would want to go as low as you can, it will be your choice if you want to wear out and replace shoes or the wear edge on the plow. as far as traction goes you are in snow and ice so chains are your first best ways to get traction then weight then tire tread. of course all i have said is just my opinion, take it for what it is.

If you use skids on a blacktop drive, you will have an ice rink.

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.
