Default Cadet mower deck thickness
I am trying to find what guage of metal to get to repair a mower deck that has a couple of holes. I tried to measure the thickness and came up with about .130 which somewhat equates to 10 guage. Am I correct in this sort of uneducated guess. The deck is off a cadet 102 it is a 42 inch mower.

Paul,
You should be fine with that I am going to use some .10 inch thick material, if I ever get around to working on the deck for the 147R.
Regards,
Chris

The frame is only 0.100" thick, 11 gauge, that or thicker should be fine.

Many thanks as I have discovered, some people go by guage and others go by a thickness measurement but had some difficulty in relating one to the other. Thanks again.

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.
