Where can I Cub Cadet GT3100, rear fender handles?

[DavidA]

I bought the GT3100 to use primarily as a lawn mower on my 4 acres of very sloping yard. The slops are not dangerous but do require som careful operation. The 3100 does an excellent job. I have a CUT for actual tractor type work. My problem is that some of the slope areas that I can mow sideways (less than 15 degrees) make me wish for some rear fender handles just to hold to and lean on. The lower numbered Cub Cadet models (found in the big box stores) have rear fender handles. My Cub Cadet dealer says that Cub does not make them for the 3100 model. Does anyone have any idea where rear fender handles that "would work" could be bought? My Cub dealer acts like it is unheard of for anyone to even want such a thing. Thanks in advance for your ideas and suggestions.

I don't recall seeing the fender handles but would the ones you saw work on the 3100? I'm sure the dealer has a part number and could order them.

I wish they would work. They have "cutouts" of gearshift lever on right and solid on left. The GT3100 would be solid on right and needs a cutout for deck lift on left. Also appears to be a different top curve on the GT310 fenders as compared to the other models. That is part of the delima.

If you want some clean looking grab handles that would bolt through to give some stength. Go to a boating store they would have them in many lengths and different finishes. That would be the way I would go.
Good luck!
