And we need more info and pics on your box blade! Great action pics too!

Thanks Duke. The box blade is apparently some reproduction of the #40 IH model. I don't have measurements for that blade, but this one matches up very closely visually. The obvious differences are the lack of a separate bolted on back blade (this one has a welded arched piece of steel) and that the crossbar is welded on rather than the U-clamp style attach. (I missed on a #40 last month for $200 :bash2:) No matter, this one is very close, works perfect with the Cub and was $50.

I was able to modify it to fit the wide-frame 3-point of the 882 by drilling just 5 holes, so no major hack job that can't be undone.

You got a great deal on your box blade!

I received the left hand decals for my side panel and a new 1541. I can't find the right side. There is a way to make your own apparently. They do on American Restoration. I have a buddy at a sign shop.

Ace...

I workd alittle on my 128 to get ready to put in a creeper and i pulled a part the driveline and found out the whole driveline was shot! It will but 150$ for a new driveline! man i was poed! I might try a little welding on in first tho.

Picked up my new to me 42" blade , put it on for the snow we aren't going to get the rest of the winter :Mad1:

149 and tree work

Had the 149 tied to a small tree to help make sure it went the way i wanted!! Even gotto enjoy the new wheel weights while doing it!!! Just bearly see the yellow rope voing towards a tree and then there is another onetowards the cub that is barely seen!

Congrats but that's how it works sometimes.:bash2: Better to have it and not need it then not have it and need it!

Yes Matt i did think of that but I have welded already though. I had to try I'll made a new one soon. It would not be to hard. I have a brand new clutch on it. both springs we're broke.
