Quick Disconnect and Pin on decks
 

How feasible is it to used a Quick Dis deck on a tractor that's currently pin-on? I know the mule drives are different, but wonder if there's more different than just the attachment method (width of mule drive frames , maybe?)


I'm not sure of the Lore of Mower decks. (Did the attachment scheme come along with the advent of wide frames maybe?)

Anything is possible with some flat bar stock steel, a cutting device (saw or torch) welder, tools, and ambition.

:ThumbsUp:

So, I'll conclude that there's a big difference in the associated mule drives and to not investigate that idea! :bigthink:

Not specifically the mule drive, but the scissor part of the lift mechanism that attaches to the front of the deck. The pins have to be removed and the remaining metal reshaped a little bit. Then you have to position the rear q/a hangers and drill new holes to mount them.
I have done this 4 or 5 times. It's not just a change brackets and go mow thing, but it's not rocket science either. This is a 38" pin on that I modified for a Cub 70.

Is that tractor you posted yours ??

:bigthink:

It was. Sold it last November.
Guy bought it for his kid for birthday/Christmas.
He sent me this picture.
Whatta dad, huh?

Regardless, nice job on that tractor. Interesting paint job.

Thank you.

This was "before"....

I thought gray was the shade used back on 10-20 series of McCormick-Deering tractors.

Quite a change on the O, IM.

I thought of Massey when I saw it reborn in red and silver too!
