I believe more often than not mower decks were purchased along with the tractor, as cutting grass was the tractors main function for most people.
At the same time dealers would normally "make you a deal" in some way, like so much for the tractor and then sell you the mower deck "at cost" or the tractor and mower for one money and "throw in" the blade. Very much like buying similar things today, they could/would tell you what they thought you needed to hear and manipulate the paperwork to make it look like you were getting a really great deal.

In 1974 my dad bought a 108 brand new. He got the 44" deck for $1
