Default Round Thingies on the deck ?
I'm sure the round thingies serve a purpose. Since I changed the 48" cutting deck to accept the quick release so it will fit my under-carrage for my # 122 I noticed underneath that the 3 round thingies are TOTALLY SHOT.

I'm sure that there are NO replacement parts for this, and am thinking to rip them out since there is no SAVING the existing one's that exist . About 30% of its gone already & its barely hanging in there, holding on by some rust & all loose.

Any comments or- what to do?

Nik,

rip those off and replace. you can get some metal flashing and cut and bend to fit. thats what i did. also you can either tack weld them in place or use small corner braces on the outside of the baffles with some bolts to hold them on. just have to do some drilling.

Thanks, I read the post above in re; baffles.

That answers my question. Guess I'll rig up something to get new ones in place.

Yup, they are called baffles, and every mower deck I've used had them missing and it still mows great. Not extremely necessary to have, unless you don't like a grass trail behind the tractor as all of it doesn't blow out to the side.

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.
