TT-(Moderator) 1,127 #4 Posted August 24, 2009 I've never personally tried to run the mid-mount tensioner assembly with a newer (Attach-Matic) deck and I don't think that it would even work due to mounting carriage/deck drive belt clearance issues. If you have the correct style deck (1966 to 1972) and all of the tensioner pieces it would work fine. If you're after a reliable and modern mower that you can use regularly and gives a nice cut then you should probably equip your tractor with the newer Attach-Matic hitches (including the front hitch adapter) and use the corresponding deck.
