I have not checked the TP . I have all 4 tires filled with fluid and assumed they are good since they were done at a New Holland AG dealer.

I'll add that to the list.

Here are two shots of what it looks like ....

The one on the left was cut both ways to make it look semi decent, the one on the right, I ran out of day light to go back over it.

Also, is the deck worn to the point where the blades are moving vertically when mowing? I've had a deck with metal so thin it would do that, and make the cut look terrible.

The deck is really meaty.

I pulled my gators off and put my others on , and was looking at the blade tips. There was a half inch difference between all three blades. I shimmed them to all match and re-mowed and it looks pretty good now.

The only bad thing is when I shimmed , it cut shorter now. I have to re-adjust the height as it is too short now. I wont be able to tell anything more until next week when it is time to mow. But I think I got it pretty good now.

Not the tb , but the bike is a possibility. I don't think the neighbors would appreciate me mowing the lawn tacking at 11k though.

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.
