Default Front mounted blade question
Is the shaft that connects the main frame to the sub frame (on a front mounted blade) supposed to be free, or welded to the main frame?

Thanks

No, I was talking about the rod that connects #10 to #9 or #22 to #16.

The shaft on #16 is welded to #16, yes.

Thank you. I didn't know if it was an IH thing or if a PO did that.

Mine is welded, probably by the PO. Works just fine. Until I need to change out subframes! Just slightly harder to install the subframe with the blade welded to the subframe.

I don't think it was a PO that did that. Mine is welded as well. I took the subframe off for painting and it was slightly a PITA. I can't wait till I can try to get it back on again.....

They are easy to pop on and off after you do it a few timea. A straight claw hammer or crowbar makes it real easy. Apparently gonna have to be real carful with freshnpaint. And expect to touch upnpaint.

I use a spare 3 point lift bar to pry them off. It gives me great leverage and its strong enough to get the job done without damage.....maybe just a little scratched paint.

I appreciate everyone's responses, and tips. The blade's a worker anyway, so I'm not too concerned about some scratched paint. I am just looking for a look that is not all-rust (like it currently is.)

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.
