Belly Mount Grader

[DennisBufo]

FINLEY got my hands on a grader blade. I had a heck of a time putting it on the cub but here is my question: which hole on the blade should I mount the blade. There are 5 holes and I am thinking the bottom one. But ANY suggestions or does and don't would be much appreciated. Thanks, Dennis

The middle hole on each side. The holes are for tilting the blade if you look at the piece the holes are in it is curved.

Hi,
Below is the Cub 54 Blade operator's manual, it has lots of info, and shows how to put the blade on the Cub.
You don't use the manual lift lever shown in the manual if the Cub has Touch Control.

Depends on what you intend to do with it. Normal grading, use the middle. Lightly scraping/smoothing, use the top. Lightly "scooping" use the bottom.
Personally l just keep mine in the middle.

Read the manual and on page 3 it talks about the impact spring having 4 positioning holes for adjusting the angle of attack of the blade, on page 6 the manual talks about the impact spring having 3 positioning holes, my impact spring has 3. Also the tractor in the manual has a massive amount of rear wheel weight.

Depending on how much material you plan on pushing,you may want to consider adding a set of wheel weighs

i run mine in the bottom holes so the blade will raise higher

That is true but makes the impact spring less effective.

dont think mine has any springs on it that i know of. ----never had any trouble with the blade. hit a hard place--cub spins out --- raise a hair and go on. ---- i only use first gear about half throttle.

Thanks all for the advice. I am using the the hole 2nd from bottom. A bit of a learning curve for me but getting pretty good at moving 57 gravel on my road.
