Default 1863 to 48 inch GT deck adapter parts.

I broke a bolt on my deck adapter, #323 I believe. The bolts that attach the 2 parts of the adapter look like they might should be shoulder bolts. I only have the one shown and it's a regular 3/8 bolt. The only parts diagram I can find is at Partstree and the don't identify the bolts. Their probably NLA but I thought I would see if I could get some guidance on what to replace them with.

Under 1864 it shows both bolts as shoulder bolts.
The short one is 938-0108 1.45"
Long one is 738-3100 NA 1.76" long
I use the hardware store shoulder bolts and add a washer if needed.

I picked up 1 1/2 and a 1 3/4 shoulder bolts at the hardware yesterday. I used a flat washer on the 1 1/2 bolt. I used a grease needle to put some grease in the mule drive pulleys and it ready to put back on the tractor. Thanks

Default 1863…

If your mule drive bearings were dry and not smooth before greasing, I would be sure to keep an eye on them. Check to see if they feel hot after mowing. If a bearing seizes up, you will probably end up replacing your pto belt.

If they feel hot, replace one or both with some good quality pulleys with smooth bearings. Bad bearings will put a strain on your engine and decrease power to the deck. Pulleys are usually welded and not serviceable, so a word of caution here.

If the two halves of the pulley are spot welded together . drill out the spot welds , split the pulley , remove bearing . get and instal new bearing . bolt together through the drilled out holes but use nyloc nuts
All good and you now have serviceable pulleys

From my experience, I have not been able to replace the bearings on any of the Cub mule drives that I have restored because they were solidly welded together. I have replaced bearings on some of the idler pulleys found on mower decks by drilling out the welds, replacing the bearing and bolting the two halves together.

Look for Cub Cadet, Oregon, Stens or other brand name suppliers as cheap chyna pulleys don’t hold up. Ask me how I know…

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.
