b7100 newbie question
- Thread starter gradypulling
- Start date
At 40+ years of age, getting something like a mower deck will be almost impossible.
Messicks, a major on line supplier of Kubota parts, only lists decks for hydrostatic B7100.
They show two models for the HSD: RC54-71B & RC60-71B
I seem to recall that the hydrostatic and manual transmission models have different frames in the area of the front axle so the above models likely would not work.
Further, the only parts that seem to be still available are blades and pulleys.
Looking for a pull behind style of mower of 48" width can be done and will work well.
Lots of used ones for around $500.

If I remember right, only the hydro models had the underside mid PTO. Gear models only have the rear PTO, so no mid mount mowers on gear drive, even if you found one, which isn't likely.
