stevebo-(Moderator) 8,538 #1 Posted March 31, 2015 Has anyone modified a 500 series 60" mower deck to fit under an XI series tractor? If so, please chime in. I have an extra 60" deck that fits my 520H that I would like to mount under my 520LXI. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bmsgaffer 2,053 #3 Posted April 4, 2015 I dont have an xi yet, but based on what i have read I think people have found it cheaper and easier to jusy buy an XI deck... I dont know that anyone has tried it... I think its pretty extensive modifications. But you could pave the way! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebo-(Moderator) 8,538 #4 Posted April 4, 2015 Looking at my friend's 60" deck on his 522 lxi I think the shell is the exact same shell as my 520 H deck. I then compared it to the hangers on the LXI deck and I think it is an easy conversion. It would be much easier to do if I could sit it side by side with my friend's deck and take measurements as I go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fireman 1,022 #5 Posted April 4, 2015 Steve I'm sure we can make that happen. As long as you have a 220 vac dryer outlet i'll haul my welder over and we'll get it done. Better yet cause my shop is already set up with everything we need, haul both decks over here! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
