IH Cub Lo-Boy mower deck

[Sterff89]

I plan on attending an upcoming auction with several IH Cub Lo-Boys for sale. There is a 154 and 184 with the IH 3160 belly mower and also a 154 with the Woods 59 mower. If the tractors are in comparable condition is one mower deck better than the other? Thanks.

The 184 is way better than the 154.brakes,power

I like the 184 engine clutch setup and electric pto clutch better as well

I have a 3160 deck on Lo-Boy that serves me well. I prefer one bolt blade attachment over 2 bolts. Mine uses 3 belts that have been trouble free for years.
The 3160 deck can be bent if abused. The fix on mine was to straighten it and weld additional iron left to right across the front vertically for strength.
Never had a Lo-Boy with a Woods.

Ill have to look at the 184 than. It does have 3pt as well.
