Not to throw it off subject, but it's Cub related. How far would you drive for a Haban deck?

That would depend on how nice it is, how cheap it is and how badly I needed one.

I have a 1872 with a 50" deck that is holy, but still mows. Haban is $300 & 4.5 hrs away.

Across the street is about as far as I would go for a haban. I hate them. They are heavy and awkward to deal with. I am told parts are not easy to find and I think they are a big stress on the tractor and engine. Should I tell you how I really feel. I once went 4 hours to get 3 50C decks for $300.00. Over the years I have bought 27 Supers and never went more than 2 1/2 hours but, lately they have been very scarce in my area. So if I want more I guess I will have to travel.

If my Haban deck went bad, and knowing how good it works and the amount of time it saves cutting our grass, I'd go a great distance to replace it.
My furthest trip was 29? miles round trip, and that was about far enough for me.

Zippy it is a shame you will only go 29 miles. I have either scraped or given away at least 12 Haban decks.

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.
