Mower deck compatability question

AOW162435 · May 24, 2012

I have an '03 x595 that came with the 62c deck. I am looking to swap this for a 54c deck. A person with a 4100 tractor has contacted me and is curious if the deck mounting brackets & such are the same between the two tractors.

I would appreciate any thoughts.

Jump into jdparts.com and look up the two decks, as well as look at the brackets for the X595 and the 4100 tractor. Should be a good place to make the comparisons that you want.
I'd doubt the brackets to hang the deck on these two tractors are the same, but that doesn't come from knowing much about it. Just comes from working between other tractors.

The deck shell is the same. Most likely front draft arms different as well as d-line. The gear case is also different, and might be because a garden tractor mid pto runs at 2000 and the 4110 at 2100 rpm's so would not be turning it quite as fast possibly. Good Luck

Thanks for the feed back. We are going to take a few measurements tomorrow and see how the two decks compare.

Better yet, if you have a good service manager at your local jd dealership, he can look it up. I recently stopped in for the same question but different tractors. I got exactly what i was looking for......thanks enns brothers.

Why do you want a smaller? Just curious.

i'm not so sure that deck will work out, without quite a bit
of modification both at the front and rear lift points.

one idea, see if a local dealer has a similar used tractor (X400-X500-X700)
with a 54" deck and see if he'd swap you even up. He'd gain
the larger deck which might make it more salable, and you get
the deck you want. of course condition of the 2 decks comes
into play.
