50" mower deck question

Late this past Summer I was able to obtain a 50" deck for my 1872 tractor. It does a great job of mowing and is in very nice condition at least in the looks department. I want to do some maintenance but don't have a manual for it and my model number is a tad different than what I find just searching Cub Cadet 50" mowing decks.

My Model # is 359 193 50C.

What usually shows up in my searches is the 359 190 50C. What is the difference between these two numbers features/parts/age wise?

I'd like to buy some new blades for it and find a 'operation and repair' manual for it. I'd sure like to know how others grease the mandrels. When I removed it from the 1872 I greased each mandrel 26 squirts (with intermittent rotation of the blades) and see no evidence of seal leakage but I am concerned about blowing a seal out. My experience with Sears Roper decks (~mid 70's) is that they will take a little more than this before I see any coming from the seals. A friend that has the same CC setup says he gives each mandrel 3 or 4 pumps every third time he mows 2.5 acres.

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, Steve

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.
