NOS 324 54 inch deck
I have been using a 54 inch deck on my 2364 for close to twenty years. I have close to 2 acres of crass to cut. The deck does a great job. It finally started to rust through a couple of years ago.
I was able to get a NOS deck from IHCCW a few years ago. It had some surface rust that I sanded off and applied primer. I left it sitting in my garage until a finally found time to work on it last year. I always liked 324 deck, but it had a few issues that I wanted to fix. The front gauge wheels are mounted loosely. The gauge wheels bounce all over the place and the support arms like to break. See my post on this. https://www.onlycubcadets.net/forum/...ad.php?t=57120 The rear gauge wheels are off center which can cause the mounting parts to bend. The gauge wheels that CC uses are not very good. They wear out pretty fast. Up front I modified the mounting system to accept the gauge wheel assembly from the 3000 series. In back I remove the 3/4 inch mounting tubes and replace them with 1 inch tubes. I am now using JD gauge wheels in back. Here they are unpainted. Finding tubes that were exactly one inch in diameter was harder then I thought. I never knew there was such a thing as Drawn Over Mandrel. I was able to get foot of DOM tube for a reasonable price. I cut the tubes and mounted them to the assembly and had them welded by a local guy. I had to extend the left one an inch for the gauge wheel to clear the deck. More to come.

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.
