This is my second cub cadet and I'm not as pleasd as I was with my first as the quality seemd to be lacking. I have had a bear of a time with the mower deck on my mower, LTX 1040, and keeping the blades in time. I finally pulled the tensioner apart and found a shoulder washer on the bottom that had cracked which allowed the tensioner to flex. So basically whenever I hit a thick patch of grass or some leaves the blades would jump time and strike each other. I can;t say I'm too fond of this timed deck as I've replaced the blades several times already and this is the start of the 3rd season on the tractor. Has anyone else had any experience with the timed deck????
