Restored rm324 mower deck.

[Ken B 3,189]

I've been working on my RM 324 mower deck this week that I got from Stevebo. I did a total strip down of the old paint, checked all bearings etc. Everything is pretty tight. I applied 5 coats of restoration series IH red and wet sanded up to 1200 grit, and then buffed. I left things loose as I still need too replace the belts, blades and add the new decals. So my question is, does anyone know the exact belt size or part # and a part # for new blades? I've searched around for the info but I've come up empty handed. I will be using this on my restored 702 too cut the grass this season. Thanks for any help.

Looks nice!

The two belts on the deck are part # 1578 (3/8" wide X 37" long)

The tractor to deck drive belt is # 1577 (1/2" wide X 28" long)

The blades are still available as a "kit" under part # 8777 but be prepared to shell out some big money for them.

Thanks Terry, thats exactly what I needed. Now I can finish this project up and mount and test it. Heck, it ain't snowing here in CT so I may as well be prepared for grass cuttin. :thumbs:

At least you have a few months to save up money for the blades.

Remember to install them on the correct sides too. :thumbs:
