With the blade lengths, It would add up to a 42 inch deck.
Looks identical to the ones I have.

that is what threw me, 10"+10"+19 3/4" is 39 3/4". 1 3/4" bigger than a 38" and 2 1/4" smaller than a 42". so a 42" deck actually cuts 39 3/4"????

Have to also remember the gap between blades adds to the length.
Hehehe.. .I think they did like some motorcycle engine makers did and fudge on the actual size, LOL.

It is a 38in. The two holes on the pulley cover your pulleys are in the one on the inside of the deck it is a 38. If the pulleys greese fitting is on the outside of the mower it is a 42.

WOW, I really need better glasses, I can't see it that good. Well that is a lesson I just learned. I didn't think about the two grease holes. Thanks MrGitItDone.

So I am still right on the fudging numbers... roflmaooo.. Now I have to go measure the blades on mine just to know what they should measure for a 42.

OK my 42 inch deck has a 22 1/4 center blade and 10 3/4 outer blades.

You got it! The blade length adds up to more than 38" because the blades have to overlap or you'd leave strips of unmowed grass every time you turned the tractor.

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.
