AC808 Posted November 24, 2003 Posted November 24, 2003 I may be acquiring a Landlord (approx. 1966 model)that has no deck...How interchangable are decks from other models to that tractor? (This will be one of those "wow..why doesnt that ever happen to me stories!" Ill keep you all posted as this progresses...could be mine by wednesday!) 73 jay
Kent Posted November 24, 2003 Posted November 24, 2003 Basically any of the deep 42" left-discharge decks will fit it, though you may need to change the pulley on the center arbor... I'm running a deck off a 7000 seriex Simplicity on my much older HB-216 now... I had to change that pulley, and that's all. When you go the other direction, an old deck on a newer tractor, the height adjustment screws can hit those danged running boards...
AC808 Posted November 24, 2003 Author Posted November 24, 2003 Thanks for the info....ill keep you posted and may have pics by wednesday night..!
ka9bxg Posted November 24, 2003 Posted November 24, 2003 Those running boards always get in the way when you try to do things.Thats why I only have 1 of those new fangle things here.fdt forever.Bob
DaleC Posted November 25, 2003 Posted November 25, 2003 When Kent said 42" deck, he was saying that that is the maximum size you can go with. You can go smaller, although I don't know why you would, but you cannot go larger.
Agricola Posted November 25, 2003 Posted November 25, 2003 Can't you take a torch to those running boards and use tham as they should be used - anchors?
Kent Posted November 25, 2003 Posted November 25, 2003 Ths short wheelbase, 3-speed tractors (he said his is a 1966, so I'm assuming either a Landlord 101 or 2010) cannot use a 48" deck, only a 42" or 36"... Only the later variable speeds or hydros, or 3300/3400/7000 series, which are 4" longer, will accomodate the 48" deck.
UCD Posted November 25, 2003 Posted November 25, 2003 My 48" deck has 2 sets of holes in the front mounts for use on both the 3 spd and Hydro. That is the only reason I can think of for them being there. The 3000/B-110 and were short WB with 3spd and listed a 48" deck.
Kent Posted November 25, 2003 Posted November 25, 2003 Those back holes won't work, I don't think, since they're not 4" from the front set -- I'm not sure what they're there for.... I've been told by others that the 48" simply won't fit -- the back tires are in the way of the rollers and height adjusters. This B-series attachment info says that the 48" deck was for the 12HP only (at that time, the B-112 and B-212, which were variable/hydros. http://www.simpletractors.com/attachments/rotary_mowers.htm This 1968 Simplicity brochure shows the 48" deck for the 12HP Sovereign only, not 2210: http://www.simpletractors.com/simplicity/New_in_1969/48_mower.htm Personally I haven't tried it -- just going on the info I have, and what I've heard from others...
mowerman1193 Posted November 25, 2003 Posted November 25, 2003 Seem like to me that if you use the other holes shown in the above pic. the front tires would rub then...My 64 Landlord already will rub if I turn it short enough..... Although maybe mine only rubs because I can't get the deck set up right with all the mounting points ect all worn out and the holes all egg shapped...
UCD Posted November 25, 2003 Posted November 25, 2003 One of the best cross refferences I have found are the belt and blade manuals. In the 1999 Belt & Blade manual on page 74 it lists the 1967/1968 3010V, 2210V & B-110 with the following attchments listed 990501 42" rotary mower 990414 48" rotary mower The deck above is on my HB-212. With it mounted in the front holes it has less than 1/8th inch clearence on the rear wheels but has 6 inches or more on the front wheels
Kent Posted November 25, 2003 Posted November 25, 2003 Maynard, I can't find any info that I have on the site that would indicate you can use a 48" deck on the B-110. I find just the opposite, like this info from the price lists: 3 Blade 48" Cut (For B-112 and B-212) 2029959 138 199.00 3 Blade 48" Cut (For B-112 only) 2025097 138 170.00 3 Blade 42" Cut 2029958 124 179.00 3 Blade 42" Cut 2029933 124 158.00 The other two "V" models you mentioned are variable speeds, whose wheelbase would be 4" longer...
AC808 Posted November 25, 2003 Author Posted November 25, 2003 LOL guys I havent even gotten this home yet! Have been thinking about it all day at work though...hopefullly tomorrow ill have it and youll get the full story!! 73 jay
MPH Posted November 25, 2003 Posted November 25, 2003 Kent, maybe the deck doesn't need to come forward the full 4 inches to work. Haven't seen one so I'm just thinkin', could be dangerous...MPH
UCD Posted November 25, 2003 Posted November 25, 2003 I just noticed something in the Belt & blade book that I over looked. In the code column there is an S or an A. S for Simplicity A for Allis Chalmers. the 990501 42" rotary mower has an S & an A, Which would make it for the 2212V,3012V and the B-110 the 990414 only has an S in it which would make it only for 2212V & 3012V.
Kent Posted November 25, 2003 Posted November 25, 2003 Are you sure that's a 2212V... I've never heard of one. I've heard of 3212V and 3012V, but not a 2212... You may have found a typo or error in the Simplicity reference materials -- I've found a few myself... :D
UCD Posted November 25, 2003 Posted November 25, 2003 Kent The typo was me it has been one of those days for me it should have read 3012V & 2210V
