Haban 60" needs a little help
Let me start by say hello and great site. Sites with resources like this are priceless.
So between my father, brother and I we currently keep gas in 6 cadets, from a stock 73, ag duelly 73, 1864, 2185, 2205 and my latest pride and joy(maybe) my first sgt 1988 2072 w/ a 60" Haban. 2072 has 622 hrs showing, runs great and i would say better than average condition. The Haban a little worse off, the previous owner did rebuild the front raised "discharge" channel and did it right. 2 issues i have right now the middle blade mows high, which could be spacers, worn or bent spindles/mount, pretty sure I can get though that with a straight edge and some time, real issue is the deck is missing all the internal shrouds/baffles that aid in the discharging clippings. I could not find anything in terms of replacement parts to that level. So my plan is to rebuild the internals. I did see photos other have posted and i am hoping i can find where the old parts once were but i was hoping find someone who could give me a clearance dimension from the blade tip to there baffles? Looks like about 3/8". Also i haven't pulled the deck yet so this is all i know to be wrong with unit, Thanks in advance for any help and i will take some pictures and post case others want to tackle something like this, Matt S., Walworth, NY

I never took pics of under my Haban, but, here is a pic of my 72" "other color" deck that cuts grass like a multi-blade razor!!
  You can see the clearance is about 3/8" A few dents and bangs, but, it cuts great. How about that extra rear roller in the center that they snuck in!  I never knew it was there until I decided to clean-up the deck.

Hope these help. In two of the pics you will notice that the PO had a blade on upside down, he said it didn't cut very well. No kidding?

Well a few more hours in than i thought but i got what i wanted from it, the PO did a great job on discharge channel but i wanted a it a little better so i spent some time in the two front corners and replaced left panel while i was in it (the white primer) pained it up with some black enamel, used some 1/8" flat stock i had in the corner and used a empty metal cylinder about the size fo a pail to get my bends, did about half the fitting with cut off wheel on angle grinder and got my hands on a sweet little plasma cutter, a couple of clamps, mig welder and fine adjustment tool (hammer) got the job done. Also i made a middle support out of channel, seemed like it wanted something there more to follow

Oh yeah, I have been following your work on the supers, The front casters are in usable condition, the rear wheels could use stand new parts, think i just going to run the rest of the season and do some of your recommended maintenance/upgrades over the winter, you know just to give my wife some time alone with the kid, Hydro vent, axle seals, filter, etc.

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.
