Default CC 100 mower deck removal
Should be simple, I know. Everything says pull the 4 pins, and slide it out the side. The front two I could work loose from the eye bolts. The rear two, though..how do you get the horizontal lift frame off the pins? There is a cross brace welded that keeps the bars from spreading. The pins are welded in the brackets and the brackets are bolted to the deck. I ended up unbolting one of them to get the job done. There must be some trick I’m missing. Thanks?

Do those rear pins not have springs on them? just pull them out and it should settle down. Put your lift bar forward.

I believe it’s sounds like he has a pin on deck and not a QA deck.

Yep, these are short solid pins drilled for hairpins or cotter pins.

I wish it had those. I’ve had a Bolens and Gravely both that did. This one, however, isn’t so lucky..

It sounds to me like you have a "pin on" mower deck and a "quick attach" sub frame. You can see the "QA" frame has a welded cross bar back near the rear holes, the "pin on" does not. With the "pin on", once you remove the hair pins you can spread the frame easily enough to get it off the pins.

I believe you’ve hit it exactly.Not the only odd thing I’ve found on an otherwise pretty nice Cub. PO had it wired positive ground, for instance. So, would QA brackets bolt to the deck? Seems that would be the best option. Second would be remove the cross brace. I’d rather have the QA pins though.

Yes I have done it to a couple decks but it is not a simple bolt on. Once you remove the old brackets you will have to position the new ones and drill new holes. The QA brackets are taller than the old ones so you'll have to make height adjustments too. If you can find them, what you want is the bracket in the upper picture. You can see that they are not as tall as the lower one. I believe the upper is p/n 489386-R2, lower is 544100-R4.

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.
