For that blade I imagine the only one you can get an edge from is CCC. Otherwise, a welding shop, or local steel supplier can probably get you a piece of steel, and you can make you own, or have the welding shop make it. X2 on removing the mower deck. |

Extreme sells cutting edges as well. Cant say they fit your blade but its worth checking.

2 advantages of doubling the cutting edge.
1st is strength, less chance of bending the blade, as those are built quite flimsy. 2nd, the OEM cutting edge is so thin, you will wear it out in a season if you do a fair amount of snow removal, so by doubling it you have more surface to wear, thus it last longer. I have a 54" blade on my 3235, with the factory OEM wear edge, I was replacing it every year. I have a gravel drive, 100 feet long by 20 feet wide and 50 foot wide at the end where I park. I replaced the OEM wear edge with 3/8 inch thick plate steel, have been using this wear edge now for 4 snow seasons and still have 2 inches of steel below the main blade. Skid shoes, well lets just say I don't use em. |

The best solution to the blade question is a blower

Given the blade in which he posted a link to, I should say his LT wont have any trouble in the deepest of snows. But then again I have not had much experience using a toilet flapper as a snow blade

Same here. I would bolt a thicker plate as a wear edge (let it protrude more than the factory edge), and plan on replacing every so often (looking like the 1/4" thick SST stock from Amazon will last me three years doing my neighbors and my drive).
I find it grinds itself to a sharp edge, which helps get under the packed snow and ice and lift it (especially critical when someone has driven on it before I get to the fresh stuff). Else with shoes it just skims over the top. This last snow storm was a perfect example, where we had freezing rain on top so it wanted to ride up. And I know every little crack and seam in what I plow (my own drive and elderly neighbors) Plus, with those tires he needs a clean surface to grab. Shoes will leave a layer of snow which wont be great for traction. I have seen some here use a thick rubber edge (I assume with shoes). |

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.
