1050 ???

New Cub Cadet owner

A buddy is "giving" me a Cub 1050 32" cut tractor. Assuming I can patch up the rusted out mower deck.

The hangers on one side pulled off and the one of the front hangers rusted out. I have a MIG and can "patch" it. But I want to know, is the mower limited to this deck size with the Brigs 10hp?

Thanks
DG

I'm just about to buy an i1050 for my son to use, due to the zero turn capability. Concerned about many comments seen online about dependability/quality of these machines. Any advice? Thanks.

Jeff. I have a i1046 now for 2 year use a plow in the winter and 2 acres of lawn in the summer. The 0 turn gets me into the tight spots in the gardens without a lot of back and forth to turn around.
I mulch all the lawn and it has never looked better.
Only lime pellets last year, no fertilizer.
Don't beat it up and keep it well greased. It will serve you well
