Mystery parts
 

So I had a box with random cub Parts in it. I know one piece was a snow plow mount that I need on my 782 plow setup. The other three pieces nobody seems to know what they are for. They have to be cub cadet as they were painted in the same paint as the snow plow mount. Anyone know what these are for or from? They could be for sale because I may not ever have a need for whatever they are. 716-353-2890. Thanks, Reed.

Are those solid pins or tubes?
What are the measurements and thickness of the angles that are welded on the ends?

Tubes, two holes in the end with the bolt

I thought they might go in a sleeve hitch, but there'd be a hole to pin them with a cotter pin somewhere then.

Maybe something someone has made up to hold a flag placed at the ends of the blade or something, who knows?

any holes at the ends of the blade where they may have been installed?

Or, maybe something that could be flipped up/down and secured horizontally with the second bolt to aid in picking up or maneuvering the blower into position. These units are very heavy, so some kind of handle might be a good idea if it had to be transported in a pickup truck or trailer. :biggrin2:

Three is an odd number. Maybe missing one or you have a spare. :)

Those are for the 154 and 185 Cub LoBoy. They are called guards or platform stops that are used when an IH deck is installed. They mount inside the frame near the rear of the engine.

The queen has spoken, I thought they were the ones on a 3160 deck for a 284.

Part #13 in the picture shows the stop with one mounting hole. Reed's parts have 2 mounting holes. Were they made differently for the 154 and 185 LoBoys?
:bigthink:

Interesting find
 

There are no other holes in these pieces, just the two bolt holes and the tube itself is hollow. Curious if there is the right number or maybe I have another one hiding somewhere. I’m still not sure why I have them and cannot remember how I got them, might have been a throw in from eBay or something when I got a snowplow mount. Not sure if they are wanted or needed by anyone but I don’t have a lo boy and probably never will. Very interesting indeed.
