Default 82 Series/Cyclops Front Bumper Modification

I can't be the only one tired of paying $150+ for these. I found a similar looking MTD bumper can be easily modified by "windowing" out the top of both flanges from the existing hole over, and enlarging one of the existing holes to clear a 1/2 coarse both.

Not perfect, but it does engage the frame and prevent rotation, so it should work as good as new. This is a good solution for my low budget 1914 build, as the bumper was under $50 shipped on feebay, and the grinder work was eyeballed and took maybe 10-15 minutes.

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.
