Default 48" mower deck
Started to take apart my 48" mower deck for painting off my 123 that has been in family since 1967 . Parts most have been missing a long time only a dirt outline shadow where once on deck ( or maybe not ). Mows grass well without them . Maybe taken off during service and never put back on . Was wondering if these parts are important at all .
They are Front Baffle assembly left and right PN/ 487781-R1 and PN / 482076-R1

I don't think they would have put any parts on there that weren't important...those look pretty major to me.

whithout baffles your deck will leave clumps instead of evenly disscharging the clippings out the side.

There are a couple variations of the 48" decks. I think that is a bit later one that is one piece at the front. On some of the earlier ones, that front part bolts on. If yours looks like the one you just posted pictures of, you aren't missing anything.

Thanks Matt , too many choices on parts tree for my liking . Turns out mine looks more like the first post with the diagram . I am missing those front baffle parts . If anyone has a early 48 " deck would love to see a picture of those front baffles . Dimensions if possible so I can try to make them. But it still does cut the grass nice without them . It must cut awesome with them.

Hubman,

I have a 48" deck and it might have that baffle. I have to take it off on Saturday to put new bearings in one of the spindle when I do I'll take some pics for you.

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.
