need help identifying jd 400 60\" decks

Need some help with identification of JD 400 60" deck model #s.

I have a 400 with 60" deck. My deck has 4 wheels. Two casterable ones in front, and two fixed ones in (Pinned in height and position) in back.

My manuals show what looks like my deck, except the ones in the pics have 3 wheels. One in front and a skid on the left side, and two in back.

I think I may have the wrong manuals for my model. The problem is I don't know what my model is, or what model I should get a manual for. My deck has no identifying p/n or model # anywhere on it. I rebuilt the deck during restoration, and had it blasted. Then I primed it and painted it and re-assembled with new pulleys and bearings.

The decks look very similar, but there may be other minor differences besides the wheels.

Any help out there on this one identifying model #s for the two different decks?

Check out the JD parts website. www.jdparts.com They have very detailed exploded views of all the different products. You will be able to search for all the 60-inch decks they make for every tractor and then look at the pictures and figure out which one you have.

I think you have to sign up to use the detailed searching, but its free.

Also very handy when you need to order parts or just to see how something goes back togteher.
