50A Deck
 

I guess a 50A deck isn't meant for a Super! :bash2: Hmmm, now what am I going to do?!:bigthink:

All you need to do is swap out the top pulley from any C deck because of the bigger belt.

A 50" deck does fit a Super , you have something wrong somewhere.

My other brother Darrell.

All the swapping has been done I believe. My issue is the left rear wheel rubs the tire, so much so that I bent the brace slightly... debating on cutting the brace/wheel off and moving it left an inch or two or trying to trade it off for something else...

There are two sets of holes in the subframe to put the deck hangers in , one set is farther forward . The hangers go in that set of holes. Your spring loaded bars should line up in the back of the subframe.

Your subframe also needs to bolted in the very back set of holes in the mule drive.

The deck is not supposed to set quite that far back , something isn't right somewhere. You do not have to bend/cut the gauge wheel.

There may be a manual on here that shows how to set it up on a Super.

Call me if you need more help , 660-841-5647. I talk better than i type.

Hi, Do you have the correct "mower adapter" for the deck/tractor? I have a feeling you have the incorrect adapter. Mower adapter #361 is the one needed for my 2182 and my 50C mower and everything fits just fine. Just looked up 2072 and #361 is the adapter you should have. Don

I am going by memory , but isn't all the " adaptor kit " is the deck hangers are longer for a Super and you also got a long small rod looking thing that set against the belt ??

I just used the hangers from a 60" deck and i never had the rod that set against the belt.

I think something is wrong. Nothing should be up against the belt. Are you using the adapter from a 60 Deck? Don
Pictures could help.

Here is some pics of the setup i had under my 1872 with a 50C deck.

Are you trying to use the subframe from a 60" deck ??? Pretty sure the subframe is totally different.

Adapter package 361 consists of the correct belt, longer adjustable lift links for a Super , and a " belt guide rod " ( the bar thingy i was talking about ) , and bolts/nuts for belt guide rod.

I never had a belt guide on my deck and the belt never jumped off.

Got this info from a 50C owners manual.

Thanks for all of the info! :beerchug: I'm going to need to take a look at things tonight when I get home and compare the pictures I see here... if things still don't look right I'll take a bunch of pictures and post them here and maybe we can all figure it out! :High5:

Hey! My other brother Darrell, where's Larry? LOL!! :biggrin2::LMAO1:

My Bad, I am referring to the hanging frame/ sub frame. They are different from a 50C to a 60". Hanging a 50C on a 60" hanging frame wont work. Maybe your hanging frame is for a different model tractor. Don

OK, new pictures of the deck mounted on the tractor and of the sub-frame and one of the pulley...

This setup in the pictures wasn't modified from when I posted yesterday... In this current setup it does not fit on my 1572! HELP!!:BangPC: :bash2:

Oh great, Larry and the Darrells......You can call Darrell all you want, but he's not much for talkin'. :biggrin2:

You guys always make me laugh!! :beerchug:

Always happy to help out a fellow member especially when it comes to humor! :ROTF1:

Not sure why your deck is setting like that ??? Everything looks correct from what i can see , I'm stumped !!!

It seems like the sub frame is to long! I haven't had a 50" deck before so I'm not sure how they are supposed to look... It won't work in its current state! :bash2: :angry:

Here are pictures of my Late serial# 2182. with my 50C. Your set up looks OK to me.Tape measure is from center of front bolt. Good Luck, Don

Don, thank you for your assistance! Maybe my sub frame is bent??:confused2.gif"

Hi Darrell, Maybe that is the clue. Is the deck back wheel the same distance from the rear wheel on both sides the same ? Hanging/ sub frames do/can get bent sideways. Just a thought.... Don
Remove the mower and frame and look at the frame from the "top" to see if it is out of square. Just bend it back to square if it is. Don again

I've check, rechecked and checked again... I can't find anything really wrong. The left wheel is closer however there is only between two and three inches total clearance. :bash2: I've done some minor adjusting here and there... If this doesn't work there will be a 50" deck in the for sale section... Done and done!:angry:
