BX1850-60 w/ 48" MMM?

bp fick · May 8, 2010

I have a favor to ask of anyone with a 1850 or 1860 with 48" MMM, tape measure and a digital camera. Most grateful to anyone who could take some measurements for me.

Specifics include maximum clearance between deck and rear tire. Some other kinds of clearance measurements. Very grateful for anyone's time.

I have a 1860 with 48 mmm. I will post picks when I get out there. The 2year old son is demanding my time now.

Wow. Thanks soooo much.

When you turn the front wheels, how close do they come from the deck? I know it sounds weird, but do the front tires ever come within striking distance of the deck, it's linkage, etc?

Another question, if you don't mind. I cannot tell from the photography because angles always are tricky. The rear deck wheels. Are they closer to the rear tires than where you measured, or are they irrelevant because the are outside the tires? Thanks so much for the information.

Ever see a 60" on a BX24/25..It is way close on the rears...

I'll post pics tomm. of the wheel turned in on the front and a better angle on the back. Never had a wheel come close to hitting on the front. There is more room in rear then in the pic. They were taking with an iphone and in a hurry because of the kid.

hump, I want to thank you for your pictures. Actually, the photography was pretty good, better than I do with my camera, most times.

There looks to be 3" or better of rear clearance and no issues of clearance in front. Thank you very much. I guess since sw03 mentioned how the 60" had very little clearance on the larger BXs, it begs the question of clearance of the 54" on the 1850/60. Thank you again, hump. Very helpful.
