You have exactly what I want CC. I check the blades out at my dealer and it looks very sturdy. I always wondered if installing the blade would interfere witht he front pulleys. Your pics answered that question for me. Thanks :)

I bought a basket case CC 124 several years ago, and thought all the parts were there, at least I had several baskets.

I'm down to mounting the Dozer Blade, and for the life of me, cannot figure out all these brackets. What I have doesn't ever come close to what my 2042 uses for it's blade.

Would anybody have picture of a snowblade mounted on a 124 Narrrow Frame CC? I would appreciate if if you would e-mail it a van@cottom.org if should have one. Doesn't have to be a great picture, just enough I can figure out all these brackets. Thanks to all! Van

I suppose you have a lot of time to kill. Plowing snow without chains and weights = unhappy owner

I learned real quick that you must have the rear weighted, and you do need chains. Now, I did take a look at the weight kit CC has, went to our local scap yard, got what I needed and build my own rear mounted suitcase weighs for 1/3 of CC wanted.

Since, I ran into a fellow that told me the CC front bumper will slide right into the brackets on rear of the tractor. He filled the bumper with lead shot, and has all the weight he needs, plus a place to store his bumper when he is using the blade. I haven't checked it yet, be certainly intend to - Van

I posted a while ago that i had installed a bumper on the rear. the only mod is to re-drill and tap one set of mounting holes in the bumper. I think the frame holes in the front are something like 1/4 inch different in the front than the back but measure them. What I do remember is that the front holes were slightly different than the back. One set of the Bumper holes were slotted and just make it in the front. That is the center to center holes in the bumper did not match the center to center holes in the frame and would not have worked if the one set of holes were not slotted. The bumper I used in the rear I modified to add support to the rear hitch pin support which is weak on the 2542 and I assume the 1000 series. The 3000 series has a stronger support.
I still have the info on what I did somewhere if you need it, just ask.

PS-added pictures of rear bumper mod. I tapped the bumper and then welded nuts for extra strength. Looks like I lost the thread on the bumper dimension info but like I said, the dimensions were close but required some modification. Seems like CC should revisit the hole location dimensions and then no mods would be required to use the front bumper in the rear.

The bumper our local MTD/Yardman dealer (Rural King) sells for thier tractors is the same bumper as the MTD/Cub Cadet bumper, but far less expensive.

I was looking for a used snow blade for the front on my tractor when I came across the Johnny Bucket. Not only a bucket for all seasons but plows snow pretty darn good also. I got all the attachments, so the bucket raises and lowers with the flip of a button but also dumps! Has over 200lbs of down preasure. When the snow gets too deep or high of a pile I just tilt the bucket down and take a load down the street!
Would give this product a thumbs UP!!:)
