50" deck front wheel kit?

[Userj8670]

Good afternoon

Been trying to educate myself on these 50inch decks that came on my 169. They seem to be somewhat flimsy compared to the 42" on my 126.

I seen there is/was a front wheel conversion to remove the bars? Could someone with know how fill me in on the ins and outs of these decks. I'll post a pic of the underside

If you want to add front wheels to that deck;

Thank your the reply. I clicked the link in your thread but the link appears to be broken unfortunately. Would you be able to find them again?

Additionally, how did the POR15 hold up? I was considering a product called Agriguard.

Is the kit a direct fit for these decks minus the welding?

Thanks!

I lobbed mine off an old deck, then welded them to the 50". These cats sell what you're looking for. http://www.xtrememotorworks.com/Part...Cub-Cadet.html
Your deck looks to be in exceptionally good condition.

Mr Zippel posted the proper link. The POR 15 seams to have held up well. I think it does best when the sun can't get to it. The weld on brackets might need a little "fitting" to match the profile of your deck.

Was there ever a IH kit offered for these decks as well?

I am not a welder but I think on of my friends can help me out with this. Are there any other modifications I can do to the deck to improve it and ensure its longevity?

Thanks again guys

If you mean a front wheel kit, yes. To my knowledge, it is NLA. The ones xtreme makes are and exact copy of the OEM ones.
