njdpo 1 #1 Posted March 6, 2012 Hi all. I have a Commando 800 which has a badly rotted mower deck and am trying to find a replacement for the rear discarge unit I have on it. Tractor: - MODEL: 1 0110 7 - S.Num: 895226 Mower Deck (mine - badly rotted) - Model 50620 7 - 879478 - Size - 36+- inches I am looking at a mower deck on the internet ( number 0536MR04 81392 ) and I am wondering ... - how big is this mower deck (if its much larger than my 36 - I probably will pass, as my little 8hp might have trouble running it). - will it fit my 800 ? ALSO - if you are aware of a replacement deck in the Northern NJ area - please let me know. Thanks - Dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 19,455 #2 Posted March 6, 2012 The deck your asking about is a 36" rear discharge so its the same size as your rotted one. Its an Attach-a-Matic era deck meaning its for the 1973 and up B, C, 300, 400 machines. The one you posted was built between 1986-1990. I'm thinking its not going to work for you. Mike...........

Kelly 1,028 #3 Posted March 6, 2012 no it will not work with out adding the new style PTO, and a few other things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
njdpo 1 #4 Posted March 7, 2012 Kelly / Sparky - thanks for your feedback. The 800 runs so well - I'd really like to get it back into service for the summer months. If you dont mind - let me put a different spin on this effort of getting my 800 back in business for the summer months... The rotted deck I have is "complete" and operational ... (complete - except for the massive holes in it Im now wondering if I might be able to swap the parts and such to the newer deck - and get around any compatability issues... Your thoughts on the matter greatly appreciated. -Dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nick 13 #5 Posted March 7, 2012 I would think the deck would fit a 1972 Commando 800. Found a picture of my Commando 800 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
njdpo 1 #6 Posted March 9, 2012 Hi Nick - Yup that 800 looks very much like mine - except for the tires... I like those fronts... Nick - If you'd like to send that mower deck over to me - Ill gladly give it a loving home... might as well send me those front wheels/tires too... That seat looks like its in nice... ... Oh heck just send the whole thing over !!! Anyway - Im gonna try and visit the seller - take my deck with me (along with a tape measure) and see how far off the two units are from each other... Maybe I can assemble myself a nice unit from the both of them (fingers crossed). As always - your feedback is greatly appreciated. Dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
