Which mower deck for B2400 HSD?

[Spooled-up]

I have a '99 B2400 Hydrostatic 4 wheel drive. The previous owner gave me a brochure for the B1700/2100/2400. In the back, it has an implement chart that shows an RCK60-24B under the B2400 column.

I bought a used RCK60-24B and went to my dealer to order all the brackets to make it fit my B2400. Yesterday I got a call and the parts guy tells me that the deck he shows for my tractor is an RC60-24B not the RCK model.

So, I have the right model according to the brochure and the implement chart, but according to the parts guy, I have the wrong deck for my tractor.

Does anyone have an RCK60-24B on their B2400 or an RC60-24B?

What's the difference between the two decks?

Thanks.

Hi. I have a RCK60-24B deck on my 99 B2400. I got screwed on an ebay deal and came without mounting kit as advertised. I bought all the parts needed to mount from Messicks here in PA. Very expensvive. My research found that the decks are both compatible on the B2400. The "rck" is a newer model that fits more models. If you have a FEL you don't need the "stays" that bolt to the tractor to mount the lift arms. The loader frame is drilled to pin the lift arms. Good luck on your project. Hope this was some help to you. Mike.

I asked our dealer and he said the diff btwn rc and rck is the country of origin. Rck made in USA, rc made overseas.
Not sure if this is correct, but its what i was told.
I'm pondering the same issue; buying and shipping a deck on craigslist. I'm hoping the fitment is the same.
