John and BD:

K, let's say it is a later 54. I do not see the difference :?: :roll: :?: Probably cause I am blind as a bat... really need to get new glasses.

Help me out here ok? I am not sure what you mean John:

The McCormick Deering blade doesn't have the brackets under the swivel frame to keep it from dropping down, and uses a bolt in the hole where you set the rignt and left angle to both hold the angle and keep the rear of the bracket up.


Course, I am kinda confused with all three variations. Still have yet to find a Cub-54 Manual and trying to figure out the differences is getting real confusing. John, the blade that went to John N. was a McCormick correct? And this one is a combination?

Jim:

He also has a reproduction spring pressure assembly.


How do you tell :?:
Confusion breeds Discussion which breeds Knowledge which breeds Confidence which breeds Friendship

Rudi, look at the manuals for the 2 blades, in particular the brekadonw for the frmae the blade swivels on. On the 54 and 54 there is a plate on each side that goes under the bottom arc. These keep the arc from dropping down , so you can just drop a pin in it when you swivel it. The McMormick deering blade doesn't have these 2 plates, and has a bolt to lock the right and left swivel rather than a pin.
If you are not part of the solution,
you are part of the problem!!!

Yeah, what John said. Also, look at the frame at the sides where the blade is pinned to it. The Mc-D frame bends out into a pin hole. The 54/54A frame bends forward with an additional strap so the pin goes through the frame and the strap. The Mc-D blade has a bolt through the center for the center hinge bracket. The 54/54A doesn't have a corresponding part.

The way I know TM's pressure spring assembly is a reproduction is because he says "new, manufactured in the U.S.A.". I have looked them over closely, and that is the only way I can tell.

Here is the bracket I am referring to. A McCormick Deering blade doesn't have it, which is the reeason the left/right pitch requires a bolt rather than a drop in pin. Also the arc that goes through it has a verticl bend on the McCormich blade rather than running horizontal as this one does.

Is this the right one for a McCormick Deering? This is ALL new to me, I haven't a clue on what is what on these blades are. All I wanna know, will it move snow?

AND is it RED or is it BLUE I don't think I will be able to find any color but RUST :lol: :lol: :lol:

That is a McCormick Deering and the difference is pretty easy to see side by side.
