Smile Hello from Michigan!

Hi all.

I have a CC1641 that we bought new, and the tractor has run like a champ, though the 46” deck is just about shot. It has rusted through and has had welded patches more times than I can count and the blade shafts are in about the same shape.

I’d rather not buy a new tractor & deck, but it appears to be impossible to find a direct replacement for this deck.

Does anyone know of an easy to find 46” - 52” deck that can be made to fit this model Cub Cadet? My health has headed south on me and I can’t do much outside anymore beyond sitting on the tractor to mow. Or, should I suck it up and buy a new rig?

Thanks

Jim

It will probably be difficult to find a good deck without having it shipped and even than you don't know how good it really is.
Those decks require removal a few times per year for cleaning to prevent rot. Not an easy task for someone with health problems.
You could buy new but unless you spend big bucks it may end up being junk with never-ending problems.
Hiring someone for lawn care might be your best option.

Yes, I already have assumed that if I buy new I’ll have to spend if I want it to last. That being said, I’m not too sure of the MTD tractors, Cadet or other.

Is that going to get me thrown off OCC?

Problem is most everything inexpensive, is MTD built.
that leaves Deere, Kubota and the like, and a lot of good stuff just ain't available in these carzy times and If it is, it is pricy.
Try some of the salvage places, also at the top of the page or some of the social media guys, Epay, craigs list Etc.
Notice I didn't say spaced out bookie thingy
Also you can put an add on here, OCC

Fastenal would probably ship it for around, 150.00.

Thanks!
What condition is it in & do you think it would fit a CC 1641? If so, what would it cost, less shipping?

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.
