Nice work. Mine is gonna need that soon. It look like you didn't remove the cutting edge. If its not too late, you should. There's probably some rust under it that needs attention too.

I removed the cutting edge last summer and flipped it (new carriage bolts/washers/nuts.) It's getting painted over.

Daniel,

Nice work!

I just blasted my blade a year ago, but didn't remove the 3 bolts that hold the blade rod on. So here is what it looks like, even tho I used rustoleum as primer and painted over it with tractor rattle can paint. You can see the rust is bleeding down the housing. Not a big deal, but eventually I will take off the rod support and clean and prime/paint it up.

You have done a really good job on your blade. Thanks for the pics!

Thank you for the kind words. I just hope the white goes on as well as the primer has thus far, and it assembles well. Did your blade ever have a hydraulic cylinder on it? I see that it has three holes drilled for the bracket that would be a part of it.

The blade came from a 1000 that the PO just bent the narrow frame subframe arms apart so it would fit his 1000. When I got it home, I just took a persuader to it and bent the arms back. Don't have any idea if it had been used with a lift. I do know that it works great. Need to take the broken skid off the blade and replace with two new ones that I got from a sponsor here. Good luck with yours!

No I was talking about the hydraulic cylinder that mounted underneath the main frame that angled the blade. It was an option for like a 782/1450/1650 with the front outlets. As old as these things are getting, and how many hands they are passing anymore, it could have been something the original owner did long ago.

Daniel,

I have no idea if it were angled with a hydraulic cylinder. Since I don't have anything (or seen anything) with a hydraulic lift, I don't have a clue. Being in a state that seems to have very few older cubs, I rely on OCC to learn about cubs. I learn something almost everyday. Now I will look closer at snow blades and how they are hooked up.

Blade is looking good, it's amazing how much snow they'll push.

The thing with rust is you either have to completely remove it or convert it. Sandblasting will remove it but if you leave even a little it will come right back. Even the paint like POR-15 and SEM's Rustshield require you to prep the metal with their convertor (acid).

After removing the rust (sandblasting, electrolysis, vinegar, molasses, grinder etc..) you should treat the metal with phosphoric acid. Your local Home Depot or Hardware store will have it for cleaning concrete. The key to this is to keep it liberally wet for at least 20 minutes so it has a chance to work its way into the rust and do it's job. Once it is treated be sure to clean the metal really well and remove any residue from the acid and then sand it or you will have adhesion issues. The rust will be black and inert so it shouldn't come back.

BTW, Rustoleum is an oil based paint so if you try to top coat it with something else it won't last long.

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.
