1450 w/ 50" deck question
I started to install the 50 inch deck on the 1450 today. I installed new blades. I noticed the following: I have a 1/4 inch gap between the center and right blade and a 5/8" gap between the center and left blade. Is this normal? Both the old and new blades are 17 inches long.
Thanks

cdlong,
I just went out and measured one of my 50" decks and I get 1/4" gap on both sides and the blades are all 17" long. I never paid attention to it before. I will dig out my other 50's and measure them also.

I misread the tape, one gap is 1/4", the other gap is 5/16". I'll have to measure center of hole to tip of blade tonight.

No need, sounds like you're ok. A 1/16 difference wouldn't bother me. It might be worth checking the balance on the blades though, make sure one wing isn't on the heavy side.

What bothers me is that there even is a gap. Seems like the gap would leave strips in the yard. Blades are brand new.

I don't know the specific size for that deck, but it should be easy to look up. If you have your model and serial number you can just look on the Cub page or Messick's or similar for the correct oem blade, or if you post them here I'll look for you.
They shouldn't ever hit as they go by each other, so there is always a gap. I know what you mean, seems like it should leave a stripe, but it doesn't if you keep them sharp and the edges square. I think if you look at how the deck travels, the middle blade is just enough forward of the 2 side blades that the gap isn't really there when traveling forward, if you can picture what I mean.

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.
