Here is the "real deal" (used).
I have no clue what it is made of.

They are hard and brittle.
I belive gasket material would work, but I would at least double up, maybe even triple.

ok, thanks. Your description of hard i expected, but brittle surprised me. Maybe the material I'm looking for is different than what I was thinking it was.

The washers are a fiber material and fiber is brittle, if hit with a hammer, it is ah gonna break.

lol! I was looking at some fiberglass material washers that are described as hard and brittle. It's really hard finding the correct size. I've been thinking about it, and I keep wondering what the exact purpose of these washers are for. If they are supposed to break if I hit a big tree limb or something, which would protect the blade or spindle from being damaged, I'm thinking about how much they would really help. I'm sure most cub owners probably are just using a flat washer in their place. Maybe that's the best I can do for now.

The concept is they posta grip better than a steel washer for driving force, yet still yield when striking an object that ain't gonna move like a steel stake or large rock, or maybe smaller like your hammer yall threw at the neighbors howling dog.
Or a forgotten tire iron/jack handle
in the weeds you lost a while back.
A steel washer from the local hwd store will serve till yall get your next stimulus check from da Gubber-Mint.
They are also called a "machine bushings" from back in the day.

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.
