Cleaning underside of mower deck
I thought I'd throw this out there to see how you guys do it. I raise the front of my 1000 with a floor jack, position a jackstand, and commence to scrape the underside of the 44A with a sturdy putty knife. I do this once a month and sharpen the blades if needed. The wet grass sure causes build-up and the deck definitely works better when it's clean. A clean 44A is a happy 44A.

I of course do it the hard way, LOL. Remove the deck and strap it to my 2 wheeled dolly then scrape it down, Remove the blades with electric impact and sharpen them up. Pump in a few strokes of grease in each spindle and put the deck back on. In fact I did this about two weeks ago or so when I had to remove the deck to plow the garden with the disc.

 That's a great idea about warming up the bearings, that had never crossed my mind, but then again, they are so easy to get too while I have it out and cleaning it.

I take deck off every 2 weeks for cleaning, and monthly spindle belt cleaning/ blade sharpening. I grease spindles before every run, so it generally works in fresh and warm.

On my 48" deck for my 123, and this was several years ago since it has been retired from mowing, I sprayed my underside of my deck with automotive underbody spray (cover blades and spindles of course), and I never had a problem with buildup from that point on. I have thought about spraying the underside with the rhino liner spray for truck beds, but never had the time to do so for my other decks. They also make a slick spray (sorry, the name escapes me) that you can spray on the underside of your deck to prevent buildup and some guys use it on their snowblower chutes, too. I've never used this spray and don't know anything else about it.....just a thought.

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.
