That’s ok, it just means it’s time to upgrade.

Sometimes you have to make a bagger blade if it isn't offered. I've done this on Craftsman decks, but it also applies to Cubs. You may need a little more oomph since the blades on Cubs are generally beefier.

Stock blade on a 46" deck. No bagger blade offered.


Stock sail height.


Place in vice, heat with torch, bend with a large tool.


Modified height.


Comparison of stock vs. modified.


This worked really well at keeping the chute from clogging. Even with damp grass and/or leaves. Might be worth trying if you are constantly clogging the chute.
Thanks for pointing that out. I never thought about needing different blades. This tractor needs new blades anyway, so I will see what I can find.
