New Owner of a Cub Cadet LTX 1040
 

I am wondering if anyone else has ran into this situation: I purchased my Cub Cadet @ Home Depot in Wichita, Ks. I decided to buy the mulching kit from Home Depot online. Using the part # in the owner's manual (19A70002000) I placed the order. I received the kit yesterday, and guess what. The blades in the kit are too long to fit my tractor. They are 21-7/8" long, while the blades that came on the mower are 21-1/8". Needless to say, the mulching blades don't fit under the deck. I had to have a machinist shorten the blades by taking off 3/8" at each end. I am dumbfounded that others have not ran into the same problem.

:Welcome2: Gad to have you!

Hello ACecil
 

Thanks for the welcome!

:Welcome2:

I would have returned them. They had to be packaged wrong or a missprint in the manual. Manuals are produced before the actual products are so errors are common.

Good idea!
 

I would have returned them, but I was going to have to pay the freight to return them, and our nearest Home Depot is 90 miles away.

Yikes! :bash2:
