ZD331 and GKC60 question

[blackmajicwoman]

Greeting everyone! Its been a while since I posted. I just acquired a new (old) ZD331. In going through it, I came across two things I can't figure out. Once is a set of lift arms that do not seem to have any current purpose, but look like they may have been part of an accessory or an implement. The black paint (vice Kubota gray) tells me that are not part of the stock ZD331. As for the mower, the rear top deck on either side has a pair of round rubber bumpers mounted to the deck. I have no idea what these are or were used for. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

There has got to be someone out there that can recognize these parts! I am thinking maybe an aftermarket lawn striper??

ive got the same deck on my zd326, no rubber plugs in my deck, not sure about the arms, have to go to the barn and have a gander

@workinallthetime,

Thanks for the reply...my Kubota deal thinks it could be an aftermarket striper or possible deck dampener.

there is also a grass catcher that could be part of what your looking at. I love my zd, the only problem i have ever had was a bad one. i was mowing my trails in the woods and cought a stump with the front tire, i wasnt going that fast but the force of it cause the engine mounts to flex enough it hit the radiator. i had to get it repaired and was not a fun job, so be careful to not catch anything with a front tire while mowing.

Problem solved...the mystery parts are for the ZD3122 Striping Kit!
