42" mower deck New to me.

[Wheelbearing 49]

Hey guys just got back tonight with this 42" mower deck from upstate Mass. I payed $100 for it. I think its work it since theres no holes in the frame and the spin free. I'll definatly redo it but my question is what is a close model # for this thing so i can get parts for it. Maybe new spindle housings bearings and the attaching wash down coupler.

from what i've found you should be able to use this model #05-42ms02

but i've been wrong before...... B)

You may have problems with the wide rear tires rubbing the wheels on the deck. I think you need a 48 inch deck ....I know it will looks perfect when you are done B)

Hey Wheelbearig,

It looks just like my 48" , I know that the spindle assmblies inter change . My model # is 15-48sc03 . B)

[markslawnmowerworld 4]

I belive he is right, it looks like a 48" deck not a 42"

i would remeasure it...

Its a 42 with the tape. Well steve I can always restore it and trade up. And I did find a nickle size hole by the height adjustment but I can make that like new. Thanks for the info guys.

Yup Steves right 42 Won't fit on a 520-h because of the 10.5 wide tires.

So heres one I'm going to restore and sell or trade towards a 48"

:clap:

In the 2004 300/400/500 sales brochure it shows the 42" Rear Discharge as available for the 520, but not a 42" Side Discharge. So I am assuming that you can trade your side for a rear in the 42" size and it should work.
