What kind of deck is this

[D-17_Dave]

I found this deck yesturday and I've never seen this style. I'm not shure what kind it is and I was hopeing someone could shed some light on this. It is a right side discharge, has a tappered rear side and is very heavy gauge. The wheels on it don't belong so ignore them. I thought most simplicity decks had straight edges on them. SThis deck has B-series spindle in it and they appear to have bolted up without modification. But I know they aren't right. So what is it??

That's a funny looking deck, never seen one like it. It'd be neat to know what it fits. Some parts of it look like an allis, but the shape sure is different.

It mite fit one of those front mount Simplicity mower's maybe?

I believe that I saw a deck(shaped like that) like that on the front of a Gravely commercial tractor, but I am not sure. It mounted on the front, but there are a lot of parts missing from this one if it is Gravely. Sorry I can't find the picture. Benjamin Kassulke

The blades look similar to Powermax style but the cutting edge looks like they are for a left hand discharge. Are Sunstar blades like these? The rounded front does look like a Gravely but I think they are shaft drive.

I don't know what type of machine though.

Not sure about the newer stuff, but not the sun runner. A sun Runner deck looks to be tha same as the smaller lawn tractor decks, like 4211 etc. The top is embossed, not flat and smooth like that one. I've seen a lot of odd decks stripping out tractors, and thats a new one on me. Looks can be deceiving, how wide is that deck? I could give you a whole list of what I dont think it is, but that dont help [:0]

How about a Simplicity Sunrunner. Some one put different wheels on it. My 2 cents

[D-17_Dave]

It looks to have a set of 48" left hand blades on it. It doesn't look like it was ever ran. It has a set of B-series spindles in it and that's why I grabbed it up. The homemade swivel wheels I can always use on something and as I said, it's a very stout deck. I picked it up with several bad engines and a few aluminum tanks and a snatch block all for 50 bucks. So I didn't think I could go wrong.lol just more stuff. Yea, like I needed more stuff.lol

It's not a Simplicity, and those aren't Simplicity arbors. The old B style spindles bolted to the deck with 3 bolts - that deck uses 4. Not sure what it is though. Later Simlicity decks use 6 bolts. Tim

Try finding a picture of an older big Jacobsen. I got a feeling you might find a match. The blades do look like Simplicity left hand discharge blades, they are definitly facing the wrong way for that deck.
