tarcoleo 119 #1 Posted July 11, 2009 Interested to know if I can directly mount a 48" side discharge mower deck from a 512-8 onto a C-111. Any advise will be appreciated. Looks like it might work but I have only seen the deck in pictures. Tom in Little Compton, RI Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TT-(Moderator) 1,127 #5 Posted July 11, 2009 Oops, sorry Terry Tom I fixed it, Tom. So.... does the C-111 still have the 11hp Briggs & Stratton engine? It might not like the 48" deck too well if it does. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tarcoleo 119 #6 Posted July 11, 2009 The oops was because I thought I got your name wrong. No, the engine in my C-111 is an 11 hp Honda installed 15 years ago in a chassis bought at a yard sale for $100, delivered. I took the non-functional engine out and buried it there and then. The deck originally was a 36" WH which was replaced with a Gilson 42" made adaptable by using the WH hardware from the 36" unit. Been a workhorse ever since. Its possible that the Honda may not be enough for a 48" deck. However, I am hopeful that with 2 acres of level grass, I should be able to adjust height, belt drive ratio and tranny gear to make it through. Tom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
