wh79d160 52 #1 Posted April 11, 2011 :wh: I have a D deck I want to put on my 417-8. Has anyone tried this. What changes would I have to make? in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ol550 830 #2 Posted April 11, 2011 Have only went the other direction. On the D series the front hitch assembly was used to tension the belt. So that would need to be changed. Add a mule drive. Add the belt. Level the deck and wait for the rain to end. Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wh79d160 52 #4 Posted April 11, 2011 Will the carriage from my 42" deck off the 417 fit in place of the D carriage on the D deck? :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdog_kustoms 82 #5 Posted April 11, 2011 yes it will all you need is the front bar and the 2 side peicesits a matter of 2 9/16 bolts and your back in buisness and keep the parts you take off then you can put the deck on either tractor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shuboxlover 474 #7 Posted April 11, 2011 Tom, I think I have extra carrier parts from a shelled out deck. If the donor deck you are going to use is a good one (and don't want to tear it apart) I'll give you the stuff you need. Let me know Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wh79d160 52 #8 Posted April 12, 2011 Thanks Tyson. That project is on my list this week. I'll see what I'm up against & let you know. :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
