I have a 60" on my 1872 and love it, but it is missing the stabilizer (#1 in this diagram). I could make it if someone had dimensions available with some pictures....

The Haban 374's and 325's are great decks. Have had a few over the years. Don't let go of that 54" though. They arguably the best deck of the era and probably better than the new ones today. Ever see a brand new 374? Never mowed. Never mounted. I have touched it.....

Put a 60 '' on my 1882. works ok but i have alot of trees that i cant get between like i could with the original 50'' deck. i am currently looking for gator blades for but have not found a perfect match... would grinding a blade down in width cause a bearing failure due to vibration ?

As long as you remove the same from each end, you'll do all right. even one of those cone shaped balancers will help you get a decent job. I use mine at the start of every mowing season when I prep the deck for the upcoming season.
 
I use a 60 Haban under a 2182. No complaints from me. Keep it greased & clean with sharp blades. I also let the mower wheels just skim the ground. I cut quite a bit of grass. I am also towing a 60" Swisher off set behind tractor. So I'm cutting almost 10' at a time. The 2182 get's a good work out !
