Default 147 deck brought back to life.

Some shots of the 147 deck I did over that last several week.
Had to by a lot of the parts as they were removed for another deck, the 48 inch deck on Eric's 147. Thjis was his original deck for that tractor which PO put a 48 inch on. So this was a spare deck.
Replaced idler pulley, and idler spring.
Had to buy used spring hitch brackets.
Fabed new right wheel bracket PO lost it when the corner of the deck rusted and broke off.
PO had to bring me the left runner bar.
Right runner bar was at my sons
Center pulley had some issues from PO. Had to add a custom " Key " to secure the pulley to the shaft.
New belt

Some steel cutting, welding, and custom stainless work underneath too.
Should they be junked when this bad??? Maybe? This one should have several years left in it now! A good down and dirty get it done project!

Rustolium Ivory and OLD CAT Yellow are the colors. Rattle cans.
Regards,
Chris

Looks great! I wonder what caused that end to be rusted so badly...they must have stored it next to the sewage lagoon and that end was submerged!

Probably a combination of wet grass clippings that were not cleaned off, and the gauge wheel on that corner doing its job until the rust from problem #1 weakened it enough for it to break off. This is a pretty common problem, and why it pays to frequently clean off the underside of the deck.

Amazing job on the reconstruction. I can't believe it is the same deck.

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.
