BX23S Under Belly Mower

[DustyRusty]

I am picking up a 60 inch kubota mid mount mower deck RCK60B23BX tomorrow. I am assuming that the parts necessary to hook it up to my BX23S are already mounted on the underside of my tractor. What are the parts that I should make sure that I get with the mower deck other than the driveshaft and the front mounting bar? Are all the front mounting parts already on the BX23S? It comes off of a BX 2670. Everything that I have checked says that it is correct for the BX23S, is that correct information? Thanks

Been a while since I had a bx but looks good to me. If you have the driveshaft, the front parellel linkage, and the locking mechanism on the front of your box should be good to go. The lift arms on your tractor should be there already. Good luck remember to set your height adjustment to 0 for easier install when letting down your arms to hook to mower

Also if your mower will not lock up in top position once attached there is a adjustment by the drivers rear tire, also stated in the manual

and...
before you mount it, sharpen the blades and grease the spindles !

You forgot, "check the belt tension and gearbox oil".

You need the link bars if you don’t have them. i call it the hanger bar and the handle. Both are shown on top left end in the photo below. Connects the front of the deck to the front underside of the tractor.

Also make sure that you get the drive shaft for the mower.

Looks like everything is there....

Messicks has a pretty good video on mounting/removal.

turn the front wheels all the way to one side and it's easier to slide the mower under....
also, those anti scalp wheels will turn sideways... so the whole thing will roll sideways...

I don't usually turn them... but it may make things easier till you get the hang of it.

PS, make damn sure the locking collar on the driveshaft is properly clicked in.
it's tricky.....
