I have a 1985 Cub Cadet 1711 Hydro (photo below). The deck needs to be rebuilt. I cannot fix anything but my tractor guy can fix most everything. He says we need the complete hub assemblies for the three hubs on this 44" deck: pulleys, hubs, bearings and seals. Is there a source for these items? Are their bearing rebuild kits in the event that the assemblies are not available? Thanks for any advice.

Spindle assemblies as well as rebuild kits are still available.

To confirm, is part # 126393-C1 the correct hub/spindle/bearing assembly that is needed for this deck (44" from a 1985 CC 1711.)? Those are expensive, about $300 each. The bearing rebuild kits are about $47 each. Should I consider that route? Thanks for the help. Mike

IH-126393-C1 is the speedup center pulley.
 
Can you advise what are the correct numbers for the 3 assemblies? For a stock unit that was cutting fine (but those assemblies are worn out and making a lot of racket) is the 'speeup' needed? Sorry to ask but I know little.
 
If your pulleys are still good you can get the spindle assembly W/O pulley. All 3 use the same one.

None of your pictures show which spindles you have. If they all are the aluminum housing version, the bearings are super cheap anywhere that sells bearings, as they are an extremely common bearing. Seals are available OEM from CC or aftermarket.
