It's a long way off, but...
winter is going to be here eventually in SE MI. Yesterday I picked up a blade from my parent's house that they got for me at a tractor flea market last weekend. (Sorry no pics as of yet, probably tomorrow.) Currently it's 90 degrees at 11 30 EST so thoughts of snow removal should be far off and I want to make sure I have some chains and some wheel weights before it gets here. Weights are easy to find, under $100+, not so much. I'm planning on mounting up the blade this week and pushing some dirt to get a feel for how it works.
PS everyone have a great memorial day. Thanks

I use the wheel weight system that uses bar bell weights. It bolts onto the wheel and then you buy the weights at a garage sale for about $50 for a 100 lb set. Once people's kids go to college they get rid of those things fast.

My wife took the camera to work today so I couldn't get pics
 but I did mount it on my CC and pushed some dirt around. I am happy with it. I am going to try to get pics of it tomorrow as I have to convert it back to mowing. I tried to take the carriage bolts out because the wear strip has to be flipped around and since they are severely rusted only 3 came out with an air ratchet. The skid shoes need to be lowered, and I can't get the blade off of "dozer" and back to "snow." Does the handle lift and then turn? Thanks for the kind words.

LONG AWAITED PHOTOS
     I can't get this to move. Going to have to try to soak it in rust pent. and see what happens before winter as I want the spring option to trip and not throw me off the seat. Good news? The swivel/angular option works.  In the process of flipping the wear strip, only 3 nuts came off. The rest have to be cut. Sorry the photos took so long. After I took these I put it back to summer mode (mower deck installed) and cut the lawn.

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.
