48 inch deck rebuild
I got this deck at least 10 years ago with the intentions of cannibalizing it for parts but after getting it home it looked to usable to do that so i slid it on and have been using it ever since. If i want to keep it going it is time to give some much needed attention

got all or as much welding done on the deck, metal was pitted so bad i decided to stop the rust with a coating of phosphoric acid, i read it acts like bluing on a gun and is paintable.after this next i will coat the underside with fiberglass resin to seal it. bacementrebuild2 012.jpg

well bearings and seals are on order, in the mean time i decided to coat the inside of the deck with fiberglass resin. i think it did well at giving it a smooth surface to work with so grass and debris will not collect so much also got 98% of the wire brushing and prep work done. i also decided to redo an extra spindle to have on hand as a backup, had an extra cast nose piece that was not chipped like the original and pulley to have. while i have every thing set up may as well paint every thing i have to be ready to put it into service
welding went well but boy did i have to use the wire to make it the way i wanted, it is a solid shell now but i bet i used 3/4 of a 2 pound spool to make it that way rebuildnov18 003.jpg rebuildnov18 004.jpg rebuildnov18 005.jpg rebuildnov18 006.jpg rebuildnov18 007.jpg rebuildnov18 008.jpg rebuildnov18 009.jpg

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.
