It "could" be a factory sickle mower as David stated. Haban made one for that model Cub Cadet, a 1x4/5 series. The Haban model would be, I believe the 402D. Other Cub based Haban mowers were the 402A, 402E and possibly the 402C.

Isn't the mule drive welded to the front of mower? I agree, I'd question it it's the correct model for that tractor too. Kraig, is there a reliable list around for which model fit which tractor?

Here's a screen capture from an Excel Spreadsheet on what model fits what tractor.

I have digital copies of the manuals for the various Cub Cadets.
