My favorite mowing deck by far is a 48" triangle deck. I've used others and consistently the best looking final end result is from the triangle deck. Your results may vary.

The blade part numbers I gave were for high lift blades. Are those the blades you bought?

Yes, I bought the exact ones you gave me numbers for.
When I installed them the very end of the wings hit at various places on the left and center blade, so I could not try them. I will pull the deck later and fit them. |

I ended up grinding a taper on the wing portion of the blades and that gave me the clearance I needed between the wing edge and baffle. All mounted and ready for the next mowing.

Hope that works ok for you. Blades are meant to be balanced. You would want to be at least close to removing same amount from both sides. A couple of blades out of balance could make for a shaky machine. Not to mention prolonged use could be bad for spindle bearings. Some years ago I had a blade balance tool hanging around the garage. I think most hardware stores still sell them.

I've never, ever balanced a mower blade after sharpening. The other day, I sharpened my blades. When I got done, I thought, "What the hevk, let's see how balanced they are.". So, I hung them on a screwdriver and set the blade horizontally. Never moved. Gave it a bit of a spin.... always just randomly stopped. Guess it isn't that hard to keep them "balanced".

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.
