I have a 91 520h just picked up a 60" deck from a member here. Is it true that the 60" decks use a special spring loaded mule drive or can you use a regular drive thanks for any info. call me if anyone knows how to get ahold of one thanks, in canton Ohio. Jay (330)327-7930

Every 60" deck I have ever owned (5 of them) came with the spring loaded mule drive/deck belt tensioner, I have heard you can use a normal one, but have not done it myself.

The drive belt on the 60" deck is so long, that if you lift the deck using a standard mule, it will go slack and get thrown off.

They use a dedicated mule with a spring loaded pivot system that takes up the slack on a lifted deck.

You can use a standard mule if you don't lift the deck.
