Leveling and Grader Blade

I have this grader blade that I want to install on a 55 Cub. I can’t find any diagram for this particular blade. Is this a blade for a cub? If it is for a Cub, does the attached photo look like I have all of the necessary components to install? Any help would be much appreciated.

Have you looked at the pics on TM TRACTOR website (link at the bottom of the forum index page)? Some of the lift linkage looks a lot like a 54 blade, looks like it could be made to work. If you can't access the manual for blades at the Resources link, send me a DM with an address and I'll email you a pdf file copy. Stan
EDIT: Looking at your profile I see that it says you are in/near Longmont CO. Rocky Mt Cubfest is coming up at Bob McCarty's in a couple weeks. I'll be willing to bet that if you could hook up with the event you could get the right answers and probably get it on the Cub. JMHO Stan

Thank you for the link. Based on the photos from TM tractor website it looks like I have all of the parts needed for the installation. Appreciate the help.

Bob, I’ll give you a call tomorrow. Thanks!

Picture has the plow upside down.
Glaringly missing a wear blade /edge. And plow skids (stock on some back when) or shoes.
You have a straight piece instead of of horseshoe where the arm pivots on tractor frame /tube..

Behind your front axel are square holes cast in your frame.
That wants two metal blocks as bushings for your through-bolt to go through.

Thread 'Snow Plow Spacer Blocks & bolt'

Ok, I'm down to the last thing before mounting my snow plow. I ordered new spacer blocks from TM supply. Good price by the way. The hole in the blocks seems to be 5/8 size. However the long bolt that goes through it seems to be 1/2" size. Is this what every one else has? It just seems sloppy?

...or the blade is oriented correctly and those are the holes for the "snow extension" and the frame is upside down???

Thought the spring rode on top.
O.k. I'm leaving the room now.


(Good thing I was just looking at two in the pile the other day and now I couldn't describe positions of parts if I had to...)
