Default Using non-Cub mower deck?

Wondering if anyone has done it? Neighbor has a Husqvarna with a 54" heavy duty deck, wondering if anyone has tried to use a non-Cub deck on a Cub tractor. Yeah I'm sure it will need some mods, nothing will bolt right on. But seems like if the front & rear brackets are put on the other deck & pulley is inline & right size, should work.....? Other than the physical size fitting on the tractor.

Yes, with the right tools, equipment, know-how and desire, there is no reason you can not put a different brand mower deck on your Cub Cadet.

Keep us updated with your progress.

Check out my thread below on mower deck repair. It shows what was a pto driven 60 inch from a 5000 series Cub Cadet adapted to my 1872. It can be done if you have a mule drive and suitable undercarriage to use. I had a rusted out 46 in GT deck that I got the mounting brackets and jack shaft pulleys from to do the conversion. Since I modified a Haban 60 in undercarriage to hang it, it works very well. One thing, you need to make sure that you get the blade speed correct for the deck. I had to do some calculations and did change one pulley on the jackshaft to correct it. Good luck.

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.
