Keith Plett 25 #1 Posted May 12, 2024 I am wondering if a 32-inch mower deck from a 1962 702 would work on a 1961 701? Any advice or information regarding this would be greatly appreciated folks. Thank you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ri702bill 9,359 #2 Posted May 12, 2024 Yes - it will fit. BUt.... you would be happier with a 36" deck instead of a 32. Why?? The 701 and 702 do not have a cambered front axle as the 1963 and later models do. The tutning radius is larger with the old style and will result in leaving a "Mohawk" of uncut grass on a tight turn. Mine did.... Switched to a 36" deck - no issue. And using a 32" on my 854 is no issue because the turning radius is smaller.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
