dcrage 621 #1 Posted January 8, 2013 I thought 37" decks had "issues" on 400 and 500 series tractors -- Here is a local Craigslist for a 516-H with a 37" deck (I not buying; just trying to understand what is going on) -- Did they put smaller tires on this tractor??

TT-(Moderator) 1,127 #2 Posted January 8, 2013 Yes - it has been changed to 6" front rims. It could have been done at the dealer if the buyer specifically wanted that deck. :confusion-shrug: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dcrage 621 #3 Posted January 9, 2013 But the 6" rims on this 516-H would NOT be the same as the ones on my 310-8??? (i.e. the 516 has a bigger front axle; correct?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,127 #4 Posted January 9, 2013 The axle is the same as your 310. The only models with the "big" axle and 1" spindles are the 520-HC and all 520-H & 8 models from 1990 'til the end of production. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

boovuc 1,090 #6 Posted January 13, 2013 I do love the 37" deck. The one I got with my 310-8 cuts grass more even and effortlessly than any deck I have. It just takes a few more swipes! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
