Question About Opening In Deck @Spindles
2003 Z-Force 44 3-high lift blades.
I'm curious if this opening behind my spindles. Is it by design or to fit another type of spindle? Once in a blue moon a sweet gum tree pod will escape here and take a trip around a pulley courtesy the belt. Thanks

Those let the air come up through to create better vacuum.

Really. I'm skeptical. Convince me.

Same here... At some point a deck can only move so much air. I think of a fan with the back side of the guard covered. Can't move much air that way. Maybe they figured out that allowing some air in through there made it possible to create more air flow.

The air needs to flow out the discharge. If it flows up out the top of the deck, it would spit grass out up there too.

Think maybe Dale meant down through not up

Since the wing on the blades pushes air upwards, creating a vacuum below them.... I'm not sure how that would work, or help. You want the air to flow through the grass and under the edges of the deck. If air is introduced from above, it would cancel the vacuum affect below. That would kind of defeat the purpose, would it not? Am I the only person who thinks this stuff through? Come on. Both you guys are smart guys.

First thing I thought of is air in the deck needs to moves in two directions. Vertically, and horizontally. The wings of the blades are on the outer most part. The hole we are looking at is close to the shaft. Think of a tornado. The outer part spins and pushes away like crazy yet its the inner part that becomes a vacuum. I had a deck similar to that in the way that there were openings. I never had to clean them out. They always seemed to remain open. I never thought much of it honestly till this question came up. But now I sort of feel like they must pull air in. Edit. Small holes would not "cancel" the vacuum I don't think. It would change the draft certainly tho.

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.
