New cutting edge 42" blade
Ordered a new cutting edge for the 42" blade and got a chance to start wrenching on it today. When the skid shoes wore out a few years ago, the replacements I bought from Polaris don't allow the blade to lower far enough so the OEM cutting edge would reach the ground. I originally ran it as-is and would leave 1/4" of snow on the drive that would turn into ice. Second year I put a rubber strip in between the cutting edge and blade, and that was great for riding over any packed snow there was and made it useless. I requested a wider one from Xtreme and they cut me one. (2 1/2" wide.) Here it is with the OEM edge.
  Mocking it up so I can get the shoe placement correct.   Already I like that it's thicker than OEM, and the hole placement is spot on. Tomorrow I'm throwing some primer on it so I can get it painted. I'm looking forward to using it.

I bought a new edge from Extreme also, for my 54" blade. As you said, better than OEM, and spot on as far as mounting holes. I am a happy camper.

I had four options for painting- at home in the house, in an unheated garage, outside at 5 degrees, or take it to work. I opted to take it to work to paint. On the way, the pint can I had decided to open in the (cab of the) truck. Thankfully it was in a plastic bag (that had a pinhole in it nevertheless so it leaked everywhere). I had to hurry up and use the paint since I didn't have any more, and my closest IH dealer is 80 miles away. Here is how it turned out:
 Looks great huh? I've got a solid 6' cutting edge.  Freakin' thing looks like hell.   (can I say that?) I contemplated stripping it off and starting over, but then I remembered 1) it's a wear part 2) I need to mount it so I don't have to shovel if there is snow and 3) I can always strip it and do it right in the summer. The most annoying thing was I had half a pint of paint left, and that stuff is like 30 bucks a pint if I remember right. Fortunately I was able to save a small bit to use in places to touch up. This is what I was able to salvage.  Best part? My HR manager had to access my office after I had left for the day for something and he asked me the next day what I was painting in there cuz it stunk like hell.  I guess I'm the only one that appreciates the smell of CNH paint.

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.
