Here's an upgrade that isn't too hard, and may be useful. Most of the Cub/A/Super A blades around here were used as snowplows. Snow plowing will subject the blade to some hard shocks, from hitting hidden objects at full throttle, with no warning. Even with the spring trip on the blade, it can be hard on the equipment. Most of them wound up with the braces to the bell housing bent or broken, or the bolts ripped out of the bell housing.
Eliminating the braces and substituting a two by ten or so oak plank from the push frame back to the draw bar adds a little more flex to the system, and puts the pressure in a straight line back to the draw bar, which is designed to take it. The A/ Super A installations were a little more complicated and generally used two, three by four or so, planks set edgewise instead of flat. Some even had steel brackets laid partway along them for reinforcement.
I don't have any pictures, as I never owned one, only repaired them for others.
