Default Deck Question
Maybe this issue has been addressed at somepoint, but I haven't been able to find it through searching. I have a 48" deck on my 149 that is in need of some TLC; however, it still mows ok. The problem I have noticed is after setting the height adjustment the front of the deck is nosed down. When the deck is fully raised the nose roller is only 1/2" off the ground

Are the front hangers adjusted to low and causing this, or am I missing some other adjustment here???? I have seen other pictures on here and the decks appear to be setting level when fully raised.

Thanks!!!!!!

Make sure the pivot arm (upper left one with the u-slot in the end of it) is straddling the lift handle cross shaft.

I have noticed that on most decks I have seen on here there is an ID tag on the one end... unfortunately mine is gone...is there a reference available to determine what deck I actually have???

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.
