Default Rollers on a old cub??
Just bought my first cub cadet 102 about two weeks ago. It came without a deck so I found a 42" deck with plans on mowing lawns next summer with it. I was wondering if anyone has tried to retrofit rollers on the rear of the deck to stripe the lawn for a more professional look? Maybe some Ebay rollers and weld them on?! Thoughts and ideas are appreciated. Thank you!

Get a sleeve hitch for the tractor and make it sleeve hitch mounted.

That way:

It stripes behind the tires
It's easy to remove
Doesn't require modification of the deck
Can be mounted on another tractor in the future
Can be used independently

Now we are thinking. I like that idea all around. Now do you know if someone else has done this before?

I think you should build the prototype.

Heard people talk about doing it. Heck, I'd thought about it. But, it's not really a something I need. I live on a remote gravel road, not many people to show off to. I'm happy just that my yard is nicely manicured!

No, I've not seen anyone, on here anyway, do it.

I like where you guys are thinking... challenge accepted. Ill have to start doing my homework. I'm thinking find some rollers with a with a pin that goes through them and make my brackets. Probably make 3 bracket/ rollers. With that sleeve hitch is that adjustable? Because that could make divets going around trees with large roots or large bumps.

That's a Brinly adapter. You need the hitch first...... If you don't know what we're talking about just say, and I'll post a pic.

The hitch will raise and lower with the mower deck. If you think that turning may be an issue, you can build some "twist" or articulation into the hitch.

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.
