You know what happen when you lose a blade

old · Sep 17, 2022

So I was mowing my moms lawn with the Cub and all at once it started shaking real bad. I looked down and out of the corner of my eye I saw one of the 2 blades laying just behind the Cub. I lifted the mower up as high as it would go and looked under it. Part of one of the bolts was still in the blade mount so I know for sure what size bolt I need to get but it also means a trip to town for some grade 8 bolts

That's odd the mower is shaking.

One time I hit a stump with the outside blade and the blade fell to the ground. I finished mowing with 2 blades. NO shaking.

You might look at the belt. A bad belt can cause shaking or the other blades are extremely out of balance..

2 blades but on a single spindle so the one blade falling off threw it out of balance.

Sounds like you have a brush hog, not a finish mower.

This is like a Woods mower on a Cub. This is not a Cub cadet but a 1941 Farmall cub

Both my woods mowers have 3 two foot blades.

ld you need to recheck your serial # as the Cub was not made until 1947.

New one on me but I did have the Land Rover toss one of 4 fan blades. That was enough to shake the fillings out of your teeth.

Here's what he has, George...

Like a big old lawn mower with a single blade.

Should have said a single SPINDLE, not a single blade!

the 42 and or 44 inch belly mowers for Farmall and cub were double swinging blade finish mowers. I have never seen a single 42 inch blade for one. I used to install such mowers on several different models back in the 60s. As well as the 3 spindle single blade decks that had to be fitted to cut right or left.

I said one of 2 blades but yes I didn't say on a single spindle

This one is a Kub Kutter brand mower made for the Farmall Cub

I probably remember it wrong but either way it was the first year made cub

This one has a single spindle but the blades are bolted on with 2 bolts each so they do not swing but are fixed in position. This is a Kub Kutter Brand mower

I've never seen a mower on a cub before.
One was 5 ft and I replaced it with a 6 ft. The other rear mount is a 6 ft mower. I can go full speed 6.5 mph in medium range and peddle to the metal. Does a fantastic job.

I hit a rock and broke a blade right off on our 6 foot bush hog, your right, it shook so bad I shut it down right away. These blade weigh about 18 pounds apiece.

I did too. I was cutting corn stalks with mine, hit a rock a blade broke into and the piece stuck the left rear tire,

I've heard of King Kutter mowers, sold at Rural King stores.

Not the same company. Kub Kutter was a company from way back when and I had never heard of them till I got this cub and lost the blade last year but got lucky and found it in the thick grass so I could bolt it back on again
