Default Cast Iron or sheet metal deck?
Hello all,
I have recently aquired my first cub, a 122 that came with a cast iron, triangle shaped deck. I just picked up my second cub, another 122 (built much later) and it had on it a sheet metal deck. Seeminly wider, and way easier to remove. The question is, which would you keep? I plan on only keeping one tractor, and the cast is in much better condition, but its sooo heavy!
Any and all feedback is appreciated!

-Jon

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.
