Hey, all!
Sorry for the long delay. Just been super busy. Looks like we should have a working model box blade around the first week of June. Once the first BB is completed, it will go through QC and some thorough testing. I will be posting some action photos, and hopefully a vid on youtube. Once everything passes muster we will make a few more with what material is left from the steel order. A few have already been spoken for, but there should be four or five box blades still available if anyone is interested. Please contact me through OCC or at nashcub1@yahoo.com for details. Steven C.

I have started developing and building catagory 0 hitch kits and cat 0 implements for cub cadet garden tractors. So far i have built and sold three hitches and three more are waiting manufacture and shipping, two cat 0 tool bars with cultivators, hillers and a cat 0 sub soiler. With the exception of the hitch I don't build cub cadet reproductions, my implements are scaled down versons of catagory 1 and 2 models. I build a prototype and abuse it to see where the weak points are and adress it accordingley. I have been working on building a catagory o box blade. The box is made of 3/16" sheet metal and I use 1/4x2x2 angle, 1/8x2x2 tubing and 1/4x2 flat bar to make the frame,structure and mast. The back of the box is starting to bend and peel up under the stress and its own weight ( about 90 lbs.) . I am waiting for the rippers to come in the mail and perhapse the addition of these will prevent any future bending issues. As one member said, the heaver you make it the more cumbersome it becomes but the hydrolic cat 0 hitch really makes it effortless. I am glad to see someone else developing garden tractor implements and look forward to seeing what wou come up with.

That's great news about someone making American made products to be used on our old Cubs. I say build it right the first time and make it last. Most new products are made disposable to save a buck. I wonder if companies know that some people like myself would even pay double for a product if it was made in the USA
 and made to last forever.By the way I know what a box blade does but I have never found a use for one. What do you guys use a box blade for?

Will be posting pics of production and the completed box blade real soon. I will probably start a new thread with the completed project pics. Will definitely try to get some action shots and a vid if at all possible.
I can tell you all now that the BB looks awesome. I am sure that we will have to do a little fine tuning, but I must say that I am very pleased!

I have started a new thread with pictures and updates on the #40 Box Blade. Please refer to the thread titled:
"#40 Box Blade Part 2" Would like to thank everyone for their input and support. Especially want to thank those that have waited six months for this to become a reality. Your patience and understanding is greatly appreciated. Things have just been really busy and this project got put on the back burner...

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.
