New DIY Landplane For My IH
I never really had an attachment that would use the power of my 584 IH,,,
mostly because CATII attachments get REAL expensive. The box blade, and even a 7 foot rear blade never taxed the 584's HP. Well,, one night I got hooked watching YouTube videos of LP's,,, they do an amazing job. I looked at my material stockpile, and decided I had most of what I needed. I remembered the local CAT dealer had a graveyard of used and takeoff parts they sell cheap. I went down there, and,,, sure enough, they had the four 7 foot grader blades I was hoping for.  Two are 5/8" thick, two are 3/4" thick, all are 8" wide, and 7 feet long. The bolts that hold them on are even massive,,  The bolt on the right is a 3/8" bolt, for comparison. Then, after a lot of sawing, some drilling,,,    finally, I got to the fun part, the welding.   About a week ago, I spent 3 hours getting the front blade assembly into the frame.  The blade assembly weighs over 325 pounds,, it was a monster to position and weld, because of the 15 degree angle. Purely by coincidence,,, the night after I finished the welding of the front blade, we received 5 inches of rain. My 1400 foot driveway was obliterated.  No time for testing, and paint, the landplane had to go to work.

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.
