I was thinking of some type of rubber or I believe It's some type of poly they use. Not sure what's available in my area. This morning I recalled I have a bunch of metal door frames I might be able to use.

Need to be at least 3/16" or 1/4" thick to last very long and be sure the "shoes" are in good condition and adjusted about 1/4" below the edge of the wear blade.

You do not want to wear it down to the point where the bolts and holes are getting worn into.

Default rubber edge

Agreed with thickness. It needs to be up to the task. Mine is probably 1/2" thick and I think it may be from a conveyor belt.
Mine runs smooth without jumping, raising or chattering. Of course my plow is of good size and weight so I'm sure that may help. I could see those issues surfacing with a lighter plow.
Good luck. Can't hurt to give it a try and I'm at least one that has used it for multiple years without issues.

I bought new shoes last year. One shoe was missing the other other was on it's way out. I'm looking into the options for the scrapper blade. I found a thick piece of metal from a old farm trailer I had that would work.

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.
