Default 50 or 50A??? 1811 compatible?

1. Is this a 50 or 50A deck?
2. Will it work on my 1811 that currently has a 38C deck/hanger assy?

I bought the advertised 50" deck adapter kit parts (belt and non adjustable hanger bracket)

I suspect it will fit/function but figured I would post to the group for clarification/confirmation...

Also here is my dad on the 1450 I bought him for x-mas this year. The 50" deck in question herein came with the deal but the PO said it had never been attached. He did put some new pullies on her and sharpened the gator blades. Gave dad my 38C deck only (kept my hanger and mule) as his yard is a bit smaller...

IIRC correctly, the only difference between a 50 & 50A mower deck was the center pulley. The 50 was designed to operate with the 1x8/9 Series Cubs with the Mechanical PTO. The 50A was designed for the Q/L Series that had the Elec PTO.

The 50C was designed for the 82 Series cubs that had the 5/8" drive belt.

Install the Center Pulley for the 50C onto the deck and it will be just fine for your 1811.

And you need the proper subframe and another hole drilled for one of the front hangers that is in a different place on the "C" decks.

Today I drilled the new hole to relocate the sub frame receiver (needed a 5/8" drill bit), swapped out the pulley and bolted up a new sub frame (used ebay part) correct for this application. The machine is now fully operational. Gator blades do a great job mincing up leaves!

Thanks for the help!

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.
