Mark centerline of work table at bottom.

Mark height and draw line/clamp piece at top. Mark center line on top.

Measure from top center to specific distance on bottom edge. ( if the part being fabricated is 42" wide, measure 21" off each side of centerline) Both sides should be the same measurement.

That is kinda what I did,, the parts turned out nice,,
more welding than I was expecting,, or was it because it was 90 degrees when I was welding??

At least the paint is drying nicely with the 90 degree heat!!

The old trailer ended up getting the over-spray,,,so I just finished the paint on the trailer,,,

Well,, the paint went on kinda thick,, and will take another day or two to harden,,
I ordered bolts from Amazon, they will be here in a day or two,,

You may need to add some support on the outside of the seat, you may find that the plastic decking is a bit flimsy where it's not supported.

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.
