Default Ideas for a plow
Howdy all,
I am fixing up my plow for my 1650. It needs a new wear bar. Does anyone have any ideas for a cheep replacement. The onest that i have found are all around $60. I called the local welding shop by me and they can get me a piece of mild steel 42'' x3'' for $20. I was thinking about going with a high molecular weight plastic but that was expensive. Does anyone have any ideas on plastic vs metal?

You can always call a heavy equipment contractor near you and see if they have any worn out cutting edges from a small dozer. that would last the life of the blade.

Default blade edge
Being cheap I picked up a 4 ply tire casing cut the tread out and bolted to my blade and so far has worked good. I mounted it between metal cutting edge and blade mouldboard but had to use longer bolts

Have you tried turning unbolting it, turning it around and using the other side?

Thank you all for the input. I have decided to go with A mild steel blade. I got a piece of steel from a local welding shop. I painted it and used some stainless steel bolts to assemble it. I'll try to get some pictures posted. My phone is giving me problems.

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.
