Default Gator mulcher's

I'm going to install the gator mulcher blades ... they look like they have alot of sharp blade surface .... and all thos extra cutters on the aft end also look pretty heavy duty.

Also if one of you guys could update me on proper blade mount installation ... is one of those heavy washers on both top and bottom of blade followed by the large nut ... or should you also have a lock washer under the nut. How was it done from the factory ? ... i've never seen a parts diagram for it.


tks, B.

I normally use one washer under and one on top of the blade, followed by the nut. I use an impact wrench with a 1-1/8 inch socket to take them off and put them back on.

I'm not sure if this is the correct way to do it, but that's what I do.

scgtguy, Nice pictures! I really like the way you have your rear hitch with the tow ball ahead of the hitch hole. Nice!

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.
