modify low boy mower deck to work on standard cub

[rick 48 cub]

Hi All,

I am considering putting in an offer to purchase a 59" mower from a low boy to use on my regular cub.

What would need to be done to make it work ? How much would it cost ?

Thanks,

Rick

I do not think you would have to do much at all. I would think it uses all the same mounting hardware? you would need a longer belt for the mower becasue it sits up higher and a longer lift chain to the hydraulics. If the brackets are not right you can talk to a local machine shop and have them modified. If the price is right on the mower I say go for it.
what brand of mower is it?

The mounting brackets will need to be modified / extended. It could get to be a lot of work. Remember, everything will need to drop 8". I'd keep looking for one that doesn't need modifying.
