Hi ElevenPoint..
Many folks get fooled by the deck shells...Some have exhaust chutes as part of the deck shell and some have them attached separately and some don't have any at all.
So, all measurements of decks are by the cutting width. A 38" 42"or 48 " deck options were offered to Cub Cadet buyers during that period. Neither are rare. Just different size.
