Default Complete 50" Deck Rebuild Kit question

I'm pondering rebuilding my 50" deck on my 149 Cub. Has anyone taken a new kit and adapted it to the older decks? Just curious if its possible or not.

Never heard of a "kit" to rebuild a deck.
Normally one replaces the worn items on a deck, like spindle bearings, or belts or idlers, or pulleys.
What specifically is the problem with your 50" deck?
if you are asking of the spindle bearings, yes
you can use the later model aluminum housings with the tapered roller bearings, instead of the early "waterpump" stamped steel 2 piece housings.

So would a setup like this work: https://www.amazon.com/Assembly-918-04126-918-04126B-918-04125-618-04126/dp/B07PJK7QWB/ref=asc_df_B07PJK7QWB/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=416617970121&hvpos=&hvnetw= g&hvrand=5232589995903655161&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt =&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9024226&hvt argid=pla-890942695628&psc=1&tag=&ref=&adgrpid=94717458420&h vpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=416617970121&hvpos=&hvnetw=g &hvrand=5232589995903655161&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmd l=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9024226&hvtargid=pla-890942695628.

At the moment I can't say what isn't working since I stupidly didn't torque my blades down when I resharpened them so I lost two blades during a mowing run and had to track them down. I've only had the 149 for the last 3 years but the cub sat for the last year. I figured this mowing season the 149 needed to run instead of us mowing with just our new mower. And thus I'm trying to reduce the number of times I pull the deck from under the tractor by doing a rebuild ahead of time.
We are different than the rest of our rural HOA, mowing with "tractors" and not zero-turns. Sometimes there is joy in riding mowers that others don't see.

New Spindle Assembly Sorry fixed it. I got a reply from the seller: "it fits Cub Cadet: i1050, LT, SLT and RZT with 50" deck using special design for 6 pt. star center hole, fit for MTD: i1050, LT, SLT and RZT with 50" deck using special design for 6 pt. star center hole. And also you can compare the part number : 618-04125, 618-04126,618-04126A,918-04125, 918-04125A, 918-04125B, 918-04126,918-04126A,918-04126B" Since part numbers change, I guess I'll have to verify hole placement.

Those spindles have 4 bolt mounting pattern.
The ones on your deck, assuming it is the correct deck, have a triad (3 bolt) mounting pattern.
In addition, the blade positions under the deck, and the pulley positions (height) above the deck are going to be completely different.

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.
