42" blade overhaul
Since acquiring my 42" front blade last summer, it's been in need of paint. I used it last winter and summer is the best time for paint to adhere. Here is a pic of it last winter.
Starting the tear down: I wasn't going to completely tear it apart but there are surprisingly few pieces and it was easy to disassemble. I had some spray 935 sitting around so I tried that on the lift rod and sub frame. I borrowed my dads/brothers angle grinder with wire wheel for paint removal. Red oxide primer, 935 white, and thinner.

Did some wire wheeling yesterday. My workbench is a mess, but it sure does work good.
Top: old spring. Bottom: paint removed spring.

I agree.
I have a blade in the same condition as yours and plan on doing the same in the near future.

It's been a while, but I finally got on the horse and started work on this thing.
Finished up on the paint/rust removal. Turned out decent. Found out the pin was supposed to be welded in and was not. My brother fixed this up for me as he has access to a welder and I do not. I wasn't going to be concerned with it right now but then I discovered that the frame would not stay connected to the blade if the pin wasn't attached... Parts were cleaned with alcohol before paint.

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.
