If you are asking about a mid-mount mower I'm not sure there was a mower made for the 185 other than the ones for a 154. You should be able to download this from the Resources link at the top of this page. If you are asking about a sickle mower it is C-222. Stan

Thank you, I just don't know anything about the number series tractor and equipment, but I acquired a 185 with mower deck and need belts and blades for the mower

Do you know if the mower is IH or aftermarket? I don't think there was a manual published for the Number Series other than the 154. The Parts catalogue for it and the attachments is TC 131 Rev 8 1-72. If you can download these 2 manuals from the Resources tab and ID the mower that you have (if it is IH) the parts lists will have the IH part numbers for the radiator cap, belts, blades, etc. Also Messicks website might have the parts listed but usually they are mostly NLA. Hamilton Bob, (forum sponsor) is a good source to check also. Stan
EDIT: If you can post some pictures someone might help ID what you have.

Jim, if I recall correctly, I think you are looking for a 3160 or 3160A I don’t know which one the 185 used. You might try calling Hamilton Bob’s. They specialize in numbered series Cub Loboy’s. They probably have the parts in stock and may be able to tell you the difference between the mower decks. IH also made a 3142 and a 3260. And then there was the Woods aftermarket mowers. Width and a picture of the mower deck may help. Three blade Finish mower or bushhog type swinging blades?

According to Messicks website the 3260 mower used two different part numbers blades. Might have been different lengths. Stan

How many spindles/blades does your mower have? What is the width of the cut? Pictures would help. Stan

Still trying to figure this one out. Does it look like any of these IH mowers pictured in the parts manual? Stan
EDIT: google says that WOODS made a 42 cut and 60 cut M59 for the Numbered Series but did not find any details.

Thanks, Can you post a picture of the right (discharge) side of the mower? TC 131 Parts manual has pictures to compare it with. I sent you a DM, JMHO Stan
