Rm 425 deck hanger

I’ve recently found a 42’ side discharg deck for a short frame.
It turns out it has a specific attachment bracket. I’d like to find one.

You've found a specific deck that was made to be run on a 1045, the little 10hp short frame they made for only 3 months to use up the old round fenders. I have the adapter for the deck but need it for my 1045, very very hard to find. I however don't have the deck lol. Your tractor doesn't quite have the hp to run a 42 and it wasn't an option for your tractor. I took a screenshot of the manual so you could see.

Thanks for the reply Geno.
My little 700 has a 10 hp transplant so no worries bout having enough motor.
Your correct about this setup being hard to find! I passed up one of these decks a few years ago and regretted it.
This one is worth saving but not in perfect shape.
I’ve started fabricating a mount but was hoping to find an original.
Oh I may be mistaken but I think some of these decks snuck out the door under 1055’s

Good that the hp is there. I ran across that setup a few weeks ago when I was doing some cleaning. I'll take a look and see if it's on the tractor where it should be lol. :rolling

It's a weird setup for sure.

Agreed, and not much for positive opinions on them either. But it’s a bucket list attachment and will hopefully fit in my vintage collection

Done some work and got it mounted and mowing. It works perfect and is worth a restoration


Also because I fabricated a deck mount this is no longer a wanted thread

Nice job Bert.
