need info mower deck

[redhorse100 4]

hi i picked up a b-111 a several weeks back. came with a rear discharge deck that i took off trailer and put in shed while getting the b-111 running first. guy told me its a 36 inch 0r 37 rear discharge. i think it might be a 42. how do you tell or what do you measure from where to where? i think i read on here something about the number of rollers on the front. one for 37 and three four a 42? the b-111 is a 1978 and the deck looks to be the one one that came with mower. it has three rollers on the front. any info would help so i could a belt for it thanks joe

Pictures will help but generally you measure outer blade tip to outer blade tip. How many blades is it have? does the deck look like a triangle(36") or are the blades in line (42"). If it is still there it should have a tag on the left side near the wheels model should be something like 05-42MR01. The number decodes like this 05= mower 42=size M=mower R=rear discharge 01=revision number

Here is a picture of an older 36" deck. The second picture is a 42" deck. The third picture is a 48" deck. One of the 42's has three rollers on the front and the 48 has three.

thanks for the pictures. it is not the 36 because mine has three wheels in the front. so mine must be a 42 inch rear discharge. someone gave me the number off of a 79 deck mine is a 78. punched up toro site and mine matches up with the 42 inch deck. thanks for the pictures joe w
