RCK54P-23BX Fitment Question

[kupitz]

I have a line on this used MMM and want to be sure it will mount to my BX2660. The guy says it came off a B21, I can't find any info showing that B21 will even take a mower deck. Is the RCK54P-23BX the same regardless of the tractor it gets mounted on? I just want to make sure this will be a direct fit, no matter what it was previously mounted on?

Thanks
Kurt

The actual deck and its mechanicals are often essentially the same from model to model, so a 54" deck for a BX made in 2005 may be very similar to a 54" deck for a later model like a Bx2660. Internal components may even be the same part number. But things like the attachment points, the location of the casters, etc., can get changed to match up with each model, so there's no assurance an older style deck will work with a newer tractor or vice versa. You'd about need to try it to find out.

Thanks for the response. My model lists that deck as being compatible. I know other models also can use that same deck. I have my doubts that the original tractor was a B21 since I can't find anything to support a B21 even accepts an MMM. Bottom line though if the model is truly an RCK54P-23BX it should fit my tractor exactly right?

On my bx2370-1 I have a rck54-23bx. (Went and looked)

My understanding is the P on that one makes it the fine cut one.

i seriously doubt that mmm was used on a Kubota B21.
If I remember right, a B21 does not have mid PTO.

+1 B21 is a small commercial grade TLB with a permanently attached FEL. "The guy says it came off a B21" - the guy probably doesn't have the correct model in mind.

The RCK54P-23BX will fit any BX series ending with 50, 60 or 70! It will fit the TLB BX series 24, 25 and 25D

Just make sure that the PTO, front U brace and the bumper release handle come with it.

Thanks guys, got the mower and it fits. However the mid pto side of the driveshaft was missing. Checked Kubota and they want $350!!!!!! Anyone know of a suitable replacement that won't kill this deal? Part # K5371-32030

You were warned.
No there is no cheap aftermarket part that will fit it!

I know I was warned but I still got a deal on the deck knowing it was missing half the shaft.....I just didn't realize it would cost me half what I spent on the deck for the part! I thought the green tractors were the ones that cost a ton of money, these orange ones aren't far behind!

But they are still worth twice as much!
