44A Mowing Deck Mods and Mulching
I am new here. I have a ~1974 CC 1450 that I got when my grandfather when he closed his IH dealership in 1974.
He, and then I, have maintained (not restored) the tractor over the years and she still runs well. BTW, that is recent picture of my son only slightly younger than when a similar picture was taken of me driving the same tractor. I have a 44A mower deck. It runs fine, but since it is from the pre-mulching era it leaves huge furrows of hay on the lawn. I'd like to modify it to mulch. I am looking for suppliers/manufacturers of parts for the modification along with recommended parts/numbers. I have seen a (old) post on here about speeding up the 44a (small pulley) but its not clear where the part came from. I see Gator has (though out of stock) the right size blades (15.125"). Most of the new blades have non-slip type arbors -- does it make sense to put new aftermarket spindles with a different arbor on? Which ones fit? Does anyone make a discharge chute blocker or should I just make one? So recommendations (make and model) for: Mulching Blades for 44A with existing spindle and arbor? Hi speed pulley? Aftermarket spindle with non-slip arbor? Mulching blades for same? Chute blocker or just build it? Drive belt (length 78"?, material kevlar?, manufacturer?) Any other advice? Thank you for the info...and thank you for all the great info on here.

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.
