I collect leaves with my 1864 with either the 48" or 54" mower deck. I use a TracVac tow behind with a 5 horsepower blower. The amount of leaves, pine needles will occasionally clog the 6" hose if I go too fast. Both decks will blow some leaves out the front. I usually collect at a indicated 4". If leaves are too deep, the front of the deck will plow the leaves.

Suction with the TracVac blower is amazing. I remove the deck discharge chute at times to hand rake leaves into the chute connected to the blower. It will suck loose dry leaves as fast as I can hand rake.

Default Hi Oak

I found only the right side flap on Ebay. A guy was clearing stock and it was the last one. 37 bucks was the only reason I got it, but even though I have the manual, it doesn't look like it will fit on the 54" 324 deck I'm using. Need to drill some holes, I think. It's not quite long enough to reach the right-side front center roller assembly bolt.
That's a pretty hefty impeller you've got there, Oak. I've got a end chip out of one of the blades, but over all, it's doing OK. But I'm sure it's only as matter of time before I'll need another one. I pickup sticks before mowing. It's good exercise for me, but the leaves hide a lot.

Take care,
Vertigo1

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.
