B2650: Mounting hardware 60" vs 72"

[PA452]

I'll probably just talk to a dealer to get this answer, but thought I'd see if I could get some thoughts here first. I have a B2650 with a 60" mid-mount mower. Anyone know if I wanted to run a 72" mid-mount mower, would my current mower mounts work or do they use a different setup?

What is odd is I only see the 72" as an option, what deck do you have on it now?

I bet he has the RCK60-30BA

BTDT on B3350 and little needs to change.

Front frame mounts are different.

IIRC, rears are same.

If you speak to your dealer, be certain that you speak to an experienced parts person rather than a salesperson.

Be advised that you cannot mount the 72" mower if you have turf tires or use wheel spacers.

Ah, that's unfortunate.

I originally bought the 60" deck mostly because I was going to be trailering the tractor a lot with the mower, and the 72" mower wasn't going to fit on my trailer. Now that's no longer the case, I haven't trailered the tractor in a couple years and don't really expect to with the mower on. Was thinking it might be nice to be able to mount a 72" mower for around home, but still throw on my 60" mower if I needed to haul it somewhere.
