Default Dozer Blade assembly question

Does anyone know how tight the castle nut has to be that holds the pivot frame to the main frame of the plow?


This is what I started with...a mess to say the least but I used the electrolysis technique to remove the rust/paint and things are looking good. I will put up pics of the finished product as soon as i get it assembled.

I got mine tight enough that it would just pivot...then I used it winter 2013/14 then had to tighten it again. It's a feel thing for me.

I also go by feel, you want the nut to be as tight as you can get it while still being able to turn the blade.

I have another issue the washer that is supposed to go under that Castle nut on the pivot plate was shot and I picked one up at the hardware store in Stainless only to find that it is too think to allow me to get the cotter in place. I have checked the local hardware stores and can't find one thinner any suggestions?

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.
