"Fabricated" deck
I've come across this term now on this board and other tractor websites. Does this term mean that the deck is aftermarket and fits the tractor, or does it mean something else? Inquiring minds want to know...

No, it refers to the way in which the deck is made. A fabricated deck is welded together, whereas a stamped deck is made from a flat sheet of metal that is then pressed into shape. It seems like fabricated decks are little thicker, maybe because thicker metal is harder to press into shape.

Although the fab'd deck is square-ish, it does a much better cutting job. I like that it doesn't have that stamped lip at the bottom that collects grass. Also, it throws grass clippings very well and doesn't clog or barely gets dirty. It is quite an eye opener on how clean it stays. I am on 3rd year and it still has 99% of the paint still on bottom. The fab'd deck was more expensive than the stamped, which my tractor had the option of either, I am very glad I choses the fab'd deck. Much superior. Now in terms of man-handling around to get off tractor, it is a BEEYOTCH!!! It is very very heavy.

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.
