There were a couple of decks available from International when the lo-boys were built, but the most widely used (and easiest to get parts for) is the Woods 59, belly mower. It is a 60" (well, probably really 59") wide mower deck. You can still buy them new from any Woods dealer, and parts are readily available.

Don't bother trying to find a 72" mower deck. I think that Woods actually made one, but they are worthless on the lo-boy because the engine does not have enough horesepower to run it through heavy grass. You will even notice the drag from the 59" mower when you get in heavy grass. If you're engine is not tuned to near perfect, heavy grass will bog it down pretty easily.
