Default Question about 44A mower deck

I I have a 44A mower deck I think. The two outer spindles are the same but the center spindle is made differently is this something that was usually done? I do not have any experience with this unit yet. Any help would be appreciated thank you

My amateur hunch is that the inner, or the two outer spindles are not original. I believe that there are some innovative ways to adapt the 44a deck so that it will use a less expensive or more common spindle. The trick would be to get them all at the same height (or almost This is probably discussed in older posts.

First, welcome to OCC.
Over the years people have converted the older stamped steel 2 piece housings with "water pump" style bearings, to the later Aluminum housings with cheaper/ replaceable tapered bearings.
That might what you have, but just guessing.

Default thanks

I now have learned that one spindle is a later type--cleaned them all up and installed new zerk fittings and hope all goes well.

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.
