Hi,


Do you believe that an RC54-10G20 mower can be installed on a bx2380?

Tanks you!

Tractor data shows three mowers for BX2380:

Kubota RCK60B-23BX

Kubota RCK54-23BX-1

Kubota RCK54D-18BX

Messicks.com only shows the RC54-G20 mower fitting G series garden tractors.

The big difference is the direction the pto shaft leaves the gearbox.

The G series mower has the pto shaft coming out the front of the gearbox.

The RCK-BX mower has the shaft coming out the rear of the gearbox.

Could it be as simple as turning the gearbox 180 degrees..... I do not know and advise being very cautious with direction of rotation of the shaft.

Of course all mounting hardware would have to be fabricated.

Finally, I have a RCK60-27B. It’s for a G series. Do you think if it’s the same gearbox on the RCK60-27B and the RCK60-B23BX?

If yes and the rotation is on the good side, I return the gear box and it’s fit on my BX

Tanks

When I gave you the mower model number designed to fit your BX, all the numbers were smaller last numbers than this one.

They were 23 and 18. These numbers relate to the width of the mower.

A bigger number like 27 likely wont fit between the wheels without problems.

Also, from your last photo, if you turn the gearbox, it looks like the pto shaft will be hitting the V belt and idler pulley.
