I wasn't sure which was the newer deck. I assumed the stamped spindle housings were newer but don't know if they're original to the deck.

I worked on the deck today and got the new corner piece made and welded in. I put on the extension piece and realized it was about 3/4" away from the back side of the deck so I cut a wedge piece out of the top and bent it forward and I'll weld it back together. I think I'll weld a piece of tubing along the bottom front edge of the deck flush with the bottom to keep the front of the deck from getting bent up. I had to beat on it with my BFH to get it somewhat straight. I need to check for front tire clearance first to make sure the tires won't rub the tubing when I turn with the deck raised.

I got the discharge extension welded as well as patched a section around one of the center casting bolt holes. I mounted the deck on the 129 to check for tire clearance at the front of the deck. There's plenty of room to add a reinforcement to the bottom front of the deck. That should keep it from getting bent up like it was before. I need to buy the spherical gauge wheels so I can start making mounts for them. I plan on running the mounts front to back like the newer 54" & 60" GT decks are. Then the mounts shouldn't tear loose from the deck over time.

Looking great! I got some 5" spherical wheels from a seller on Amazon because no one had any local and they had them the cheapest. They've been on my 48" for about a month give or take, which is about 4-5 45 min. mowing sessions and they have held up well and don't tear up my lawn.

Thanks guys.
Today, I picked up some 1/2" black pipe and cut some pieces to weld to the bottom edges of the deck to reinforce it. I decided to add a piece along the back too to help add reinforcement for the gauge wheel mounts and to make it match the front. I introduced the deck to my sledge hammer and gave it a little "attitude adjustment" to get the front side back in line. It is now straight and ready to weld the pipe on.

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.
