LXI vs 520H 60" deck differences

Recommended Posts

Anyone know if there's any major differences between the 60" deck used on the LXI series and the 520H? Is it the same basic shell just different hangers?

Anyone? I've noticed that the drive pulley is a larger diameter. That would slow down the blade speed. The support hanger seems wider too.

I cannot comment on the 60 inch deck, since my largest is a 48 inch.  .  So, the following comments are pertinent to the 48 in decks.  The hanging mechanism is definitely different.  Whether or not they use the same hard point on the deck shell can learned by doing a parts look-up on Parts Tree or similar.  If the shell is the same p/n on the xi and the 520 decks, then you may be able to just swap the hanger assemblies and be OK.  Also, the deck wheels on the xi decks seem to be on long brackets so you may not be able to fit the xi deck under your 520 without the wheels hitting something.  I don't know about the drive pulleys.

If you are looking to do an "attachment" swap, it will not work. Nothing from the "XI" line will interchange with any other WH GT. The Attach-A-Matic is quite a bit larger, same with the mid-point attachment point. One of the joys of owning an "XI".
