Will a 10 horse swing a 48" deck?
We regularly patronize the local bar and grill. We're out in the sticks and it is definitely the "Cheers" of the area. It's a higher end place and the owner has done a very, very good job with the place for decades.
She has a 105 that she's owned for 25+ years, and I've been taking care of the maintenance and repairs on it for the last couple of years. Currently, it has a 42" deck on it. The other day, she asked if there was a larger deck that could go on it. She's mowing a pretty large area with it, the lawn surrounding the restaurant, plus the entire area where the weekly classic car cruise night happens. I have a couple of 48" decks here that I could get in good working order in short time, but I'm worried about the 10 horse having enough snot to swing it. I told her I'd look into it and let her know what I find. Does the 10 have enough to do it or not? The area is flat so that helps a bit. I guess if it comes down to it, I could shave the head on it .035" to get the compression up to get some more out of it. She's fine with whatever it takes, within reason of course. She is determined to keep the machine as she realizes that it's built like a tank and anything new won't hold up like it has for the last 25+ years. So, what's the general consensus on this??

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.
