Everyone else has given good suggestiosn. The 44 & 50" decks aer THE BEST IH ever made. Take the decks off both tractors and prop them up against a wall and spin the blades so the end of one blade is right next to the other.... make sure they are close to being in the same plane.... like within 1/16" to 3/32". Spin ONLY ONE blade and check again.... Spin other blade & check again... Now switch to the other end of the deck & check again. Make sure the spindle bearings are not loose & wobbly...
If Your blades do not pass the tests above FIX whatever is causing them to fail. Could be a bent blade, bend mower housing causing a spindle to be cocked.
When You re-attach the mowers You should have a threaded hanger on one side... and on the front, Eyebolts. Take a small block, 2X4 works and make sure Your mower hangs level off the tractor by sliding the block around on a smooth FLAT concrete floor.
When You mow You shouldn't be on wet grass, or driving faster than about 1/3 to 1/2 as fast as Your Hydros let you. You Can't mow wide open on the hydro!
Actually for just mowing grass a 129 (I have one too) should run a 50" deck slowly very well.
Also check "ihcubcadet.com" the setup above is one of their Frequently Asked Questions.
