Bill D 2,248 #1 Posted Monday at 04:11 PM I'm toying with the idea of converting a 48" Husqvarna mower deck for use. I'd like some measurements from a 60" deck. Since the Husqvarna spindles stick up higher than the Wheel Horse spindles, clearance between the center pulley and deck carrier is an issue. 1. How high from the top plate to the top of the center Double pulley? 2. How high from the deck top plate to the bar between the front mounting brackets? 3. How high from the top plate to the pivot on the rear brackets that bolt to the deck? 4. Dors anyone have a deck carrier assembly from a 60" deck they'd like to sell? Thanks.

peter lena 9,271 #2 Posted Monday at 05:04 PM @Bill D second photo down , notice the LONG UNSUPPORTED BELT RETURN ? one of the things I have regularly done to all my decks , is to add a 3" flat pulley to the top of the deck just about where that center lift rod is ? pushing belt slightly forward toward front of deck , also , cleaned out and re greased that , with lucas xtra hd chassis grease , 550 deg flash point , also did all related spindle bearings .mule drive , that unchecked belt bounce , is what helps bearings fail , why not eliminate it ? often refer to , mule drive belt moving deck with ease , that entire related rotational set up , can engage and move easily . often refer to a problem spot as a maintenance gold mine . also improved the PTO lever start mount point , just an opportunity , pete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
