New cub owner

[Poundfl94]

New to the forums. I have a cub 154 with a 3160 deck. Rebuilt one of the deck spindles last year. Hard to find parts for them, ended up weld in ng up the worn area and grinding down to fit the bearing. Been mowing with it and it does a pretty nice job.

John, Welcome to the Forum.

Welcome to the forum.
My local equipment repair guy calls these mowing machines. Sometimes you can find used spindles on eBay. There was a pressure washer parts guy online that had the bearings cheap.
Remember to loctite the nuts on the spindles.

Welcome aboard! If you get desperate on parts, HamaltonBobs carries some of the 3160 parts, at a cost of course. Sounds like you know how to get er' done though! Post pictures and share what you learn if you can. We love to learn from each other!

Don't know if you have any of the manuals to your Cub, but now that you’ve logged your 2nd post, you'll have access to the all the PDF Manuals on this site. There’s a few ways to do that:

• From a desktop or laptop, go to "Quick Links" in the upper left corner of your screen. Hit that and a pull-down appears where you'll find "PDF Manuals".
• You can also go to “Cub Info” in the upper toolbar, then hit “Rudi’s Manuals”. From there, you can access a variety of information.
• If you're using a phone, go to the "Links Directory" (second category down the main page). Once in "Links Directory" , scroll down to the second section "Tractor Parts & Manuals" and you'll find them there.

You'll be able to download an Owner's Manual (very strongly recommended) and any service manuals that interest you. Implement Manuals are also available.
