Mower Deck for 105
I have cub cadet 105. I believe a '71 or '72. My dad and I restored it probably around 10 years ago. Ever since then we have just used it for occasional plowing and never had a mower deck for it.
I am looking to get a mower deck and whatever else is required to get it going now. I'm willing to do some searching of forums and craigslist etc, but need some help figuring out what I'm looking for. From what I've found so far, it sounds like I'll need a 42" deck. What else will I need to get it going? The PTO currently doesn't work, so I think I'll need to rebuild that and get it working. What else will I need in terms of any mounting brackets, pulleys etc. Also, cost wise, I've seen some of these parts can run pretty high. I've also seen some similar models with engine issues that include a mower deck for around $300. Would I be better off just buying a broken tractor with a working deck and taking all the mower parts? Seems like that could end up being the cheapest solution from what I have found so far. |
The 105 was produced between 1967 and 1969. If you give your serial number, we can tell you the month and year it was built.
You can do a 38", 42", or 48" deck. You'll want a deck with the quick attach mounting and the subframe to go along with it. Depending what's available in your area, it could be more cost effective to get a tractor w/ deck and swap the needed parts. Depending which model deck you find will determine what belts you need. If you go to the Cub Cadet website, go to the Service and Parts link on the upper right side. Type 105 in the model search and select your tractor. Looks like it's the first one on the list. When the next pop-up opens, select Attachments at the top of the page. You'll then see a list of all attachments available and this is where you can find your mower deck to determine anything you might need. |

Pretty cool that the cub cadet site has all the parts listings, that will be useful. Any idea what other models used the same mower? Trying to figure out what I should be looking for when looking through for sale ads. |

If you're not familiar with the numbering system, the last digit is the series. So your 105 falls in the 4/5 series of tractors. |

Sir Lancelot. Thanks for the full definition of the 3rd digit. I knew that even numbers were gear and odd numbers were hydro drive but didn't know that it also defined the tractor series. Learning something new everyday.
MiniXP. Finding a complete tractor locally is probably the least expensive route. If it is a runner and has the mower deck mounted and operational, that would be an added bonus. You also could sell the tractor after taking the deck and/or part out the tractor and reduce you cost of the deck. If it happens to be another 105, you have lots of spare, backup, parts if needed. Just my opinion. Others may disagree. |

What's to understand??
It's just a simple clutch that has to be spring loaded in order to dis-engage instead of engage. |
