Suburban mower deck gears

[eibbed 63]

Gentlemen,

A fellow RedSquare member purchased my 1960 Suburban mower deck gears from me today for his 1961 551 Suburban mower deck.

I would like to make sure the gears are the same for both decks? I would hate to ship them to him if they are not compatable.

Please let me know if they will work on his mower deck.

Thanks in advance,

Dave

Gentlemen,

I decided not to take a chance on sending the 1960 Suburban gears to the fellow RedSquare member and have them not fit.

So when I started removing the gears from my very, very, rusty 551 deck, the gear housing on the bottom came off in three pieces.

Turns out I have two different sets of deck gears and he can't use either one.
