I'm resurrecting this thread after the first real chance the blade got at some snow this winter season. This was taken after a snowfall of about 8 inches.





The brown on the front of the blade is a combination of primer showing and dirt. As sad as I can feel where the white has chipped off, I remind myself that this is a working blade and not a show blade. I knew it was going to get some dings anyway; nature of the beast.









I'm pleased with the way it looks and works. Since I got the pin at the front of the A frame welded up it's much stronger and sturdier. It is nice not having to look at rust when you are pushing snow.

Looks like a snow-movin' machine. Did you have any trouble pushing 8" of snow?

Only if I encountered something underneath the snow, like sod or an uneven piece of concrete. Those big piles are made by "ramming speed" getting a run, dropping the blade and letting her go. I've been moving snow with a Farmall H for about 14 years and then this set up for 2 so I have a pretty good idea on how/how much to attack it. As it's been said before by many other people, cub cadets run out of weight before they run out of power doing work. I was rolling snow over the top of the blade. The snow was powdery so that helps too. If it was the wet stuff it probably wouldn't have worked as well.

I think your cub looks like it should. If it's going to work, it's going to get beat up some no matter what you do.

Looks good and effective removing the frozen precipitation.

I'm glad to see that blade for more duty. My view on a restored part put back into service is that if I did it once, then I can do it again....only I won't have to deal with the PO mods before doing it. Nice looking 147 and blade!

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.
