48" GT deck fitment on an 82 series

[jstorma]

Will a 48" GT deck from an 1863 directly fit under a 982 or a 782? Model 190-317-100

Thanks,

Jim

982 will probably work. clutch. 782 would likely need the 1863 front axle to lift up the front of the tractor a bit. Those decks are very tall.

A 6" PTO clutch will be required in either case though.

Thanks Matt.

Or, instead of switching clutch to 6", change center double pulley on deck to 4" to match existing clutch. That's what I did on my GT-54 .....currently under my Super 782.

Used pulley off 50C deck.

Thanks Steve. I might hold out for a 54" as well.

I have a gt 3204 with a 54" deck. I'd like to go to a 48" so it will fit in my shed. Is a 48" deck available for a 3204 using a drive shaft off the pto?

you may want to start a new topic, the 3000 series deck drive is totally different from the 82 series, I have owned several 82s, and it will be easier for other 3000 owners to help you with 3204.
My 3235 originally had a 60 in deck, it was too big for my new place. So I found a 44 in and sold the 60.
the decks for the 3000s were a option, base GT was deckless. the sizes ranged from 44 to 60.

Yes there was a 3000 series 48” deck.

Attachments for the 3k series tend to be spendy. But they are worth it, imo.
