Finding model # from VIN
 

Received a Cub Cadet LT1045 for free that needs a small bit of work. The seat tag is half there and shows a VIN# 1G176H10052.

It has a 20hp Kohler and 42” mower deck. When I went to the Cub Cadet dealer to new deck idler pulleys, spacers and springs they said there are many model #’s of the LT1045. in short, they need a model # to order parts. Is it possible to get a model # from a VIN?

I believe 1G176H10052 is your serial number not a VIN....
Anyway, this may help, click this link....

Choose View "Parts Manual"
Look for your mower deck (pages 20-25).
