Default Box blade from scrap

I know the color is going to get more comments than the blade but need to work out any kinks before paint.

I have wanted something to use my 149 with for a long time and couldn’t bring myself to spent any money on the few new implements I’ve seen posted on varies places so I just made one.

Have to wait until the new starter solenoid shows up on Monday to try it out. If it works I will have nothing invested but the wire, gas and time since all the metal came from my scrap pile.

It will look a lot better with some dirt on it! Nice job.

Not sure I understand you question.

All it had on it was the strap that bolts to the rear end with the three holes and the rod on the rock shaft.

Just curious if you were using the stock hitch. That's kind of a large implement to be pulling on just the three bottom bolts. I'd hate for you to damage the rear housing. Seeing as you're handy with the welder you could make up something like I did...

Now I follow you. Yes I’m a little concerned about that as well. I was contemplating making my own three point set up and noticed how those kits use the axle bolts just like you did. I have been considering doing something for additional strength.

Did you use longer bolts on the axle tubes?

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.
