I pulled the double pulley off the 54 GT deck (#324). Came off pretty hard and is somewhat tweaked. This is because I need the smaller OD double pulley for the deck drive, as the 1914 has a smaller PTO vs the larger PTO on newer GTs that a 54 GT deck would have came on (in my case an 1862).

I went to the CC parts site and pulled the deck drive/double pulley P/N for both. No shaft size listed, but I confirmed the use the same nut and ID TRBs, so that's no concern. (FYI, the jackshafts are the same minus 1/2" of length)

I believe the pulley needed to put a newer (large PTO) deck on an older tractor is 756-3007 from the 782 #359 50C deck parts diagram.

The pulley to do the opposite would be 756-3047 (to put an old deck on a newer large PTO tractor) from the #324 54 GT deck parts diagram.






Now, the mule drive was easy. The SGT/82 style mule drive needs an extra hole drilled right at the intersection of the exising linkage hole and the existing forward holes (forgot to grab a picture) to shorten it for use on a cyclops.

The cyclops/54GT mule drive already had both holes, so you just need to move the lift link back to the rear hole (will add a picture describing this) to lengthen it for a SGT/82 series type tractor.

I was able to get both mule drives/lift linkages swapped after doing the above. I might need to swap lift links too, the 1914 one looks to be the correct height to grab the 54 GT deck, but the 1862 one looks high (might be within adjustment still). I confirmed the complete 1914 mule drive and lift link will work on the cyclops with the 44C deck, but the lower end of deck height is limited (scalp wheels are about 1/2" above the ground still/blades are maybe 2-1/2" min [which is honestly not a bad idea for your average homeowner...]).
