In Reply to: HELP! Farmal Cub Woods mower... posted by Guy Snyder on April 23, 1998 at 16:26:41:
: Help!! I just went and looked at Woods belly mower for my 47 Cub. It is currently mounted on a cub with fast hitch. My tractor doesn't have fasthitch, but it looks like I could make it work. Can anyone tell me FAST if this deck will work ok on my Cub so I can call the guy back and seal the deal?? The guy is asking $500.00 for it. It has had immaculate care, I don't know how you could find a used one any nicer, he greases it every time he uses it, cleans underneith completely when done and gives it a REAL good cleaning every year when he takes it off for winter storage. The price seems to be reasonable for the condition. He says it is a model #59CF2. It is a 59" with three blades. Can I make this work or are the correct brackets available for purchase to hook to my tractor?? I have the normal horseshoe shaped drawbar on mine, this deck uses the three holes in the rear of the axle housing where a bracket bolts to it. Looks like I could possibly bolt it right up if I removed my drawbar. ANYONE have any input or suggestions on this for me. I have to call the guy back as soon as possible. He will hold it for me until tomorrow, but I want to give him an answer asap just incase!! Thanks for any help!!
Guy , I also have a 47 cub and when I bought it it had a Woods 42in ... belly mower single blade ...I'm thinking that a 59in. will be to much for for your "little queen" Mine was bastardized to fit although she mows all my paths and lane ways wonderfully .... further more I still have my "horse shoedrawbar on mine with the 42 on ... Yes $500.00 is an extremly good price for a 59
