Buying Advice 4710 Mower Deck on a 3520

[robertgalka]

Does anyone know it it will fit? I know it's slightly different, however by looking at the pictures it looks like it can be made to fit. I know the 4210-4410 decks are a direct fit on the 3320-3720 tractors.

I have a 45-4710 deck on my 4310. I bought the deck with no attachment hardware. I used the arms, pto shafts and draft linkage from the 60 deck I already had.

So yes, with the right attachment hardware.

Is this the same deck that you have? It looks a little stronger than the 7 Iron mower. I have the hardware from my old 60" deck so it might work.

 

[mfreund]

Yes, it looks the same. Large front wheels, metal belt covers, looks the same to me. The front draft linkage is there, draft arms are there. I did not see turnbuckle for the rear, may be in the boxes. I never had the long anodized bars at the top. Not sure how they fit.

Here is the best one that I had from buying a new belt this spring. Obviously this is the wrong belt the first time around! Lol

Looking closer I do not have the brackets on the front and the bracket in the middle on back. Not sure how those figure in to the mounting. There would not be enough room on the bottom of my tractor to raise up fully with those brackets.

It's definitely different than yours. I don't have a problem cutting off the brackets and moving the rear lift brackets. I'm a little worried about the location of the gearbox though. Thanks for the help.

The gear box looks to be real close to the same place to me. The two brackets and the one in the middle on the rear seem to be the things that would not work on mine. Not a big deal to remove. Do you have a picture of the deck without all the stuff on it to compare? I had a 60" 7 iron deck on my 4310 to start with and bought the 72" bare for $700. What do they want for this one?

 

[mfreund]

Let's see a picture of the 60" and then the attachment parts from the 72". The green draft arms are different than mine too.

That is the only picture that I have of it. It's about 3 1/2 hours from me, and they want $1000.00 for it. I'll take some pictures of my 60" mower when I take it off the tractor.
