New Cub, new issues
Hey guys, new member here with a new to me (1971?) Cub Cadet 149
It came with a mower deck(421 U 1113) and a plow but I'm having issues with the mower deck alignment... It seems like the deck is favoring the right(sitting in seat) side and the bolt for the mower deck wheel on the left side is hitting my rear wheel! I know there's only one way to put this bad boy on, bayonet in front and quick spring j bolts(don't know what to call them) in rear, but I can't get this deck on to a point where the wheel is not running against the bolt! I feel like the PO put larger tires on it, but there's two inches of extra room on the right side so I don't think it would effect the left THAT much. Any advice would truly be appreciated! Thanks!

I'd check the deck hanger to be sure it didn't get bent or twisted to one side ,I've seen the 10.50 tires put on that series and the deck wheels moved out to where they only used the outermost mounting holes and they even pulled the deck runners off to get clearance, got one in the garage now that someone did that to and wish I had the original wheels and tire to put back on it,gives the tractor a nice stance but created other issues !

Of course I only took photos of the deck wheel rubbing the tire, but there is a pretty significant difference in side to side gap, I ended up using the last outermost hole to hold the deck wheel and that makes it driveable at least. Unfortunately I found that the deck was very uneven up and down as well thanks for a hanger being welded(and essentially shortened) and I couldn't cut my grass because the PTO wouldn't engage...needless to say not a great day haha
The hanger looks like it's just as simple as taking some bar stock and drilling the correct holes to match the other side so that shouldn't be a big deal but the PTO engaged no problem the other day so I'm hoping I just have to adjust the turnbuckle since I had to move that assembly to get the new belt on

Move the deck wheel/brackets farther away from drive wheel by drilling new
mounting holes in the deck if possible. Then install the deck wheel retaining bolt from the inside with the nut on the outside away from the tire.

I did move the wheel out far enough so that it does not interfere anymore, I just didn't want to have to change something for the sake of me installing the mower deck wrong, but seems to be okay...I'll take some photos of the tractor tires and maybe you can let me know if they're oversized, that's what the PO said but who knows

These are the "hangers" where one has been welded/repaired and in turn shortened. It might not be as quick but I figure I could just use a piece of bar stock, the length of the unrepaired piece, two holes drilled through and just use bolts and nylock nuts to hold it together loosely so it can still float, think there's anything wrong with that plan?

I do, I thinks it's a real bad plan.

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.
