(i need to know if a 54 inch snow blade off Cub Cadet 1862 will fit my 149?)
yes and no
The blade will fit and so will the sub frame I have one here.
here is what will happen. The sub frame hangs to low to work, when the blade is on the ground it will plow ok , but when you angle the blade it will cut in on the back of the blade. Your sub frame will have to be higher to take this problem away. If the sub frame is to high the leading edge (nose) will dig in and the back will be off the ground.
I have plans to use the 54" blade I have here but I will have to make a sub frame at the right height for the blade. This can be done by leveling the blade and measure down to see what you will need for the height at the pivot point where the blade is attached to your tractor(149).
I hope this is some help to you.I will be using the 54" blade on my 1512D next winter with power angle and will have to change the sub frame to work correctly. Later Don T
