Default Changed to 48' deck
Ok, I made the change from the 60' deck to the 48. My question is, the pullies on the deck are different sizes the 60 is 6 1/2 and the 48 is 5. Will this be a problem ? If so will the pully on the 60 just unbolt and bolt to the 48. Any other things I should look for. Thanks

the pulley on the 60 is on the center blade spindle,the 48 &54 is a seperate pulley assy. the 48 pulley being smaller will turn the mower faster ,and if i remember correctly the bottom pulley is larger than the top one that the pto belt runs on which would slow it back down

as far as I can see the 317 deck was used on both size pulleys but most times when they went to the 6 in pto pulley the top pulley was bigger to slow the deck down

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
