[Farmall] Cub

[Mike Sloane]

Congratulations, Bob, on your purchase.

It is my understanding that the attaching hardware for the Lo-Boy is 
somewhat different than for the regular Cub, so you have to make sure 
that you get the right set-up. Blades seem to go on sale frequently this 
time of year, so it is mainly a matter of keeping a lookout at the 
places mentioned by others. You didn't mention what part of the country 
you live in, but if you are in the north atlantic area, the Lancaster 
(PA) Farming newspaper is a good place to start. I noticed at least two 
Cub blades in the most recent paper copy (unfortunately, the electronic 
version never made it last week). <www.lancasterfarming.com>.
Try some "google" searches too.

Based on my experience with using a Cub and blade for clearing snow off 
of my 2 mile dirt lane, you should also be thinking about a set of 
chains for the rear tires and either wheel weights or some kind of heavy 
implement hung off the Fast Hitch. You will also have to remove the 
mower to install the blade, but the mower would just be in the way when 
snow clearing anyway.
