I acquired a 1977 1200 tractor last fall and slowly refurb/restoring it. It came with a 54" plow and what i meadured to be a 54" mower deck. Deck has tag with model # but i cant read it. Anyone have any input re what deck and plow i have. (Hopfully, pics attached). Once i know what they are will post in for sale section as I hv no use for them.

Titan - the pic of the tag on the mowing deck appears to have 44 for the first to digits - which would make it a 44" deck which was quite common for the 1200 Tractor. All you really need to do is rotate the 2 outer blades of the deck so they are horizontal with each other and measure outside blade tip to outside blade tip. It should be really close to 44"
With regard to the snow blade, I have to assume you measured it end to end to get a 54" length. One thing bothers me in your pic of the blade - it looks like the sub-frame has a piece of angle iron added that may conflict with mounting it to the Quick Attach latch on the tractor frame.

Harry, you are correct. I remeasured deck per your instructions. It is a 44" deck. Also, i did measure plow end to end for 54". Attached some new pics, including the blade sub frame. As far as i know this blade was used on the 1200. Thanks for your help!
