CUB CADET 19A70060OEM Stamped Deck Striping Kit 42/50/54 ZT1 ULTIMA 42

What It Is

The Cub Cadet 19A70060OEM Stamped Deck Striping Kit is an OEM accessory designed to create professional-looking lawn stripes on 42-inch, 50-inch, and 54-inch ZT1 and Ultima 42 zero-turn mowers. It mounts to the rear of the deck to bend grass in alternating directions as you mow.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify your mower deck size exactly—this kit fits 42", 50", and 54" stamped decks only, not fabricated decks. It is compatible with Cub Cadet ZT1 series (42, 50, 54) and Ultima 42 models. Check your deck’s rear mounting holes; the kit uses existing bolts, but some owners report needing to drill new holes on older or non-standard decks. This is an OEM part, so aftermarket alternatives may be cheaper but often lack precise fit. Measure your deck’s rear width to ensure the striping bar spans fully without overhang.

Key Things to Know

• Quality concerns: At 3.5 stars, some users note the stamped steel can bend under heavy use or if hitting obstacles—consider reinforcing with a welded bar if you mow rough terrain.
• Installation difficulty: Moderate—requires removing the discharge chute and aligning bolts; expect 30-60 minutes. No drilling needed on most ZT1/Ultima 42 decks, but check your model.
• Common gotcha: The kit may interfere with bagger or mulching attachments if installed incorrectly; test clearance before final tightening.
• Performance: Creates decent stripes but less pronounced than aftermarket roller kits; best on flat, dry lawns.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you own a compatible Cub Cadet ZT1 or Ultima 42 with a stamped deck and want OEM-fit striping without fabricating your own. Skip it if you need heavy-duty construction, have a fabricated deck, or prioritize deep stripes—aftermarket roller kits offer better results for similar or lower cost.
