Installing new feet on blade
I've never used or installed a dozer blade before. The one I have had no shoes so I bought new ones. Question, how far does these shoes extend down? Should the blade be riding on these ?

IMO that's why the skid shoes are there, so the blade wears on them and not the rest of the pieces (like the wear strip, etc). I keep my blade wear strip off the ground about 1/4" at max. Also, make sure they are set even so your blade is level.

I set mine so it rides on the shoes. Easiest way is to park the tractor on a flat surface and put some 1/4" steel or plywood under the blade and then unscrew the shoes and lock them down. If you have a nice new smooth driveway you could get away with 1/8" gap.

I don't use wear shoes on my blade. I replaced my wear edge with a thick rubber matting that wears at maybe a tenth of the rate the steel edge does, so no need for them.
BUT that's not what you asked They are supposed to be set just a hair lower than your wear edge so they wear before it does

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.
