Cub parts list calls for a 1/2"-20 X 1-3/4" long bolt. If you can't find them at a TSC, Rural King, Lowes etc you can order them from McMaster Carr.

No worries, I already ordered (below). Only 10 Bucks. If they don't work the search will continue.

Alright gentlemen, bolts arrived late yesterday with new blades. Gets me a few steps closer to getting my 1782 cutting grass! My question, The new bolt feels tight when turning it into the spindal. Is this normal? Should I add some elbo grease?

They are tight because there is corrosion/rust/dirt in the threaded hole.
Being fine thread, I'd not force them, just simply run a tap in the hole of the spindle to clean the threads.
Fine threads tend to have less ability to tolerate debris in the thread.

In my younger days, Chrysler corp tended to use a lot of fine threaded bolts on their vehicles.
They were a real pain to work with, especially after a few years of rust/corrosion.

Turn the wheels 90 degrees and roll the deck under the tractor.

I used this diagram. https://www.cubcadet.com/equipment/A...6-52e762f896d5

Bolt>small round washer > large square washer > Blade. But let me know if something is wrong as this is my first time setting these up.

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.
