Old Cadet Fitted With De-Thatcher Bar
“My old Cub Cadet model 72 was retired from mowing years ago but it’s still used to haul firewood each fall. That faithful 7 hp. Kohler engine is the best – it just keeps running,” says Neil Stemmann, Red Wing, Minn.
  “A lot of the Cub Cadet’s efficiency was lost due to the design of the deck with the 90° drive belt arrangement, although the 3-blade deck itself was very well built.
  “I recently mid-mounted a 40-in. dethatching rake on the tractor that helps prepare ground for spring reseeding of dead grass areas in our lawn. I was able to use the arms and lift lever from the old mower deck lift. Eight spring teeth, originally intended for pickup use on a baler, are mounted on a piece of 3/4-in. ID pipe. It really works well and is another way to put our Cub Cadet to use.”
