Default 46" deck for supers?

My dad mentioned he might be interested in a 2072 that I told him about. It has a 60" deck on it now, but he would want a 46". I'll buy the 60" from him or buy a 46" and trade with him.

My questions are:
Are the 46" decks very hard to find in good or at least rebuildable shape?

If we get a 46", I know we will also need the sub-frame/mule drive, belts. Is there anything else we'll need?

Thanks,
Geoffrey

I realize that location has a lot to do with it. I was thinking about in the midwest, since we are just a few hours from Illinois, Minnesota, Oklahoma, etc. and do travel in this area during the summer tractor show season.

For the 2072, there were four mower deck options, being: 42", 46", 50" & 60:"

Of the 46", that would be 190-336-100 mower deck with 190-332-100 Mule Drive.

I didn't realize the 42" was an option. He may be interested in either a 42" or 46". I didn't look it up, but I assume the same subframe would work for either one?

Why would you want a super with anything less than a 50" deck? If you don't need a deck at least that big, I'd just get a GT. Just my

I'll 3rd that. If you have a Super, what's the point of a 46" deck? If you have that small of a lot, why not get something a little more...appropriately sized?

I cut for years with no bigger than a 46" on a Cyclops. Then, I discovered the 54" deck and it's smaller cousin, the 48" deck. BOTH of them will allow you to cut tighter radius than the 46" simply because they hang out beyond the wheels.

I do have some ditches to mow and sometimes, the bigger decks are a little awkward when clearance is limited.

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.
