Default 1st Idea

I’ve put together a couple of (bad) drawings showing my first idea. Thinking of using a thin shiny aluminum diamond plate for this. A few of my concerns are:

(a) I will attach the hinge to the boxed-in void area of the lid so no holes will protrude through the box…..what is best way to attach so it doesn’t work its way loose?

(b) Should I weld aluminum flat bar or angle around the diamond plate on the 3 outer side to strengthen and allow the foam to be “encased”?

(c) If this is do-able do you know anyone that does laser cutting? Price? If too expensive, it MIGHT work out cutting that logo with a cutting blade on a grinder.

Here is a rough idea of what I am talking about (plain reference pictures first, my drawings, & an example of tool foam at the end). Colors by no means are demonstrating what I am wanting with finished product, except for the IH logo. In these drawings, they are just for clarity. After looking at this, let me know if you have any questions. Dimensions of the rectangular recessed area in the lid are 69 inches long x 9 3/8 inches tall. I didn’t get a depth measurement.

Be aware that any additional weight on the top may make it not stay up over time.

I have thought of that, and I will try to put together an approximate added weight. I don't feel that it would be substantial enough to hurt it drastically as the lid opens 90 degrees max with it being about 80 degrees at rest. Also, if the gas shocks last a couple years I am ok with that.

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.
