Mower deck problem
I finally got my 100 up and running. I just need to paint the hood and put the new decals on. I straightened out all the bends and wrinkles in the mower deck, put a new belt on and tried mowing. The deck has a large blade in the middle and two small ones on the ends. The large blade cuts way lower than the small ones. At the lowest height setting, it scalps the dirt and the smaller blades barely cut. At the highest setting it still cuts a little bit. Any ideas as to why the blades aren't the same with each other?

I kinda sounds like the front of the deck is too low or the back is too high.

pull it out from under, flip it over and check to make sure the blade tips are all at the same level.
Is this outfit new to you and not used by you until now? i.e. the previous owner might have installed a spindle or two that bolted in lined up with the belt but had a longer or shorter spindle length below the deck.

Yes, new to me and never used before by me. The blades look even and not bent. As YS suggested, the front of the deck was way low. I have a couple of more small adjustments, then I'll test it out and post my results. Thank you 07.

I checked the blades, and changed the spacers on the rear hangers on the deck. Now the deck sits level and it mows very well. Thanks again to all.

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.
