Default Blade metal thickness ?

Does anyone know how thick the metal is for a 42" blade, the piece that is curved. I had to cut a piece out and need to weld a new one in so I need the thickness of it.

I doubt that it's that thick. Think he's talking about the face of the blade. Just measure your existing blade.

Edit: Red neck way to check the thickness, take your Metric Adjustable Wrench, close it down on what you want to measure the thickness of, then take your feeler gages and see what fits between the said Metric Adjustable Wrench jaws and you will have a close measurement of the thickness of the metal of your blade. If you have a set of calipers you could use them to measure the metal thickness, in that case you can disregard the above instructions.

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.
