Mower deck baffle
Hey there,
I have a 38" pin on deck that has a rusted out baffle. Does anyone make these, or should I get one made? I figure the deck would work a lot better with one in place. BTW, how much noise are these decks supposed to make. Mine is kind of noisy.

Your deck will work better with the baffle in place - it helps hold the grass in suspension so the blades can chop it up more before falling to the ground.
They're pretty easy to fabricate and weld into place if you have the equipment. Otherwise, any welding and fabrication shop could do it for you.

If you will look at my 48" deck that I restored, I built my own baffle for it. The lucky part is I had a small piece to start with. I got the gauge(thickness)from the part and the width. I went to a local shop and they have a slip roll that was big enough to roll a slight curve it the steel. I started with about 10 feet just to be sure I had enough. You will not need that much, but you get the idea. I used 3/4 inch angle to be able to bolt it on and remove if necessary. That is the way it is from the factory. You will have to hand work the metal to make it fit around the blades. I have done 2 and it has worked fine. Hopefully this helps, would be able to answer any Q,s U might have.

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.
