J.B. Weld?
Tonight I sand-blasted (using coal slag) the last piece of my 1650, which happened to be the 42" mower deck. It has some several small holes where it has rusted through, but hundreds of deep rust pits. I was thinking about using my welder to build the metal up and then use a side grinder to level it back out. But then I thought about a filler (like Bondo) would be easier. The next thought was J.B. Weld, since I have heard that it is very good at adhesion and actually contains steel. Has anyone tried using J.B. Weld as a filler for rust pitted parts?

A little thinner on a finger before it is cured will smooth that JB right out. You can also use a bondo spreader to apply. On cast, you cause rough sandpaper pressed into the JB, repair will be well hidden.

I used it on a rotted gas tank for a Kawasaki a few years ago. Worked very well and it did sand nice.

JBweld should work just fine for deck repair where there is no structural strength required. I just finished repairing the 42" cast end deck on my 122 by welding up the holes in the sheet metal. I found a place that I had repaired with body filler many years ago, still in place and doing the job.

You might consider a product like All-Metal. It's a body filler that has a metal power base, works up like Bondo, sticks like crazy and doesn't absorb moisture like ordinary body filler. I used it when I restored my Jag 15 years ago and it still looks good. It is a little harder to sand because of the metal content but not impossible. The finished appearance is very similar to JB weld.

I used a fiber glass body repair kit like for fiber glass car bodies on my 44a deck to repair the holes. Worked fine. I've also used the jb weld putty in a tube that you knead together to repair a broken tab on the headlight on my 1211. Holding us from me I guess time will tell.

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.
