Default Dual Wheels ?
Whats the story with some of the pics I see with the dual wheels? Was that a factory option, or is that a mod that you guys do. If so how is it done? What are the advantages of the setup?

Duels on the cubs were an option from IH as a means to better stability and floatation on golf course sand traps, to mowing on hills. They also provide better traction and reduce the foot print left on lawns to keep them in better shape. Duel wheel extensions can be found at xtrememotorworks.com and are the over all best bang for your buck in my opinion when it comes to the parts they offer. There are other ways to make your duels but ill leave that for some of the other guys to chime in. Hope this helps!

This is what my spacers look like to put duels on my cubs , or even 3 tires on each side

I take a piece of 20 gage steel that is 2 inches wide and 33 and 3/8 th long and use a metal roller to make it round . Then weld it together . and use reddy rod that is threded ,and cut to lenth I need .

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.
