CUB CADET 19A30024100 Lawn Striping Kit 50" 54" Stamped Decks Only XT1 XT2

What It Is

The Cub Cadet 19A30024100 Lawn Striping Kit is an OEM accessory that attaches to the rear of your mower deck to bend grass down in alternating directions, creating professional-looking light and dark stripes. It’s designed for Cub Cadet XT1 and XT2 lawn tractors with 50" or 54" stamped steel decks.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Deck size only: This kit fits 50" and 54" stamped decks. It will not work on fabricated (welded) decks.
• Model check: Compatible with XT1 (series LT, GT) and XT2 (series LX, EX) tractors. Confirm your deck type by looking for a flat stamped steel underside—no visible weld seams.
• OEM vs. aftermarket: This is an OEM Cub Cadet part (model 19A30024100). Aftermarket alternatives may be cheaper but often lack the specific bracket alignment for these decks.
• Measure: The kit includes a full-width roller bar and brackets. Ensure your deck’s rear edge is flat and at least 50" wide; measure from outside of deck to outside.

Key Things to Know

• Installation: Moderate difficulty—requires removing the mower deck, drilling two holes into the rear of the deck, and bolting on brackets. Expect 30–60 minutes.
• Quality concerns: The low rating (3.3/5) reflects occasional reports of brackets bending or the roller binding after a season. Check all bolts are tight and use thread locker.
• Grass conditions: Works best on dry, not overly tall grass. Wet or thick grass can drag the roller, causing uneven stripes or stalling on slopes.
• Deck clearance: The roller sits about 1" behind the deck. On tight turns, it may scrape against tall grass clippings or damp turf—not a defect, but a design limitation.

Should You Buy It

If you own an XT1 or XT2 with a 50" or 54" stamped deck and want a factory-fit striping solution without fabricating your own, this kit delivers acceptable results with moderate installation effort. However, if you’re on a budget or have a fabricated deck, skip it—aftermarket universal rollers or a DIY PVC pipe striper will be cheaper and more reliable.
