Simpleton7016 Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 I have no idea what this deck came off of as it was "thrown in" with something else I bought. The sheet metal is actually pretty solid but the part-number stamp is completely worn off. I have been working under the assumption that it is a 1690021 because that is what my other one is. However, in looking through the tech pubs, I see that there is more than one Mfg # for the 48" decks. Sooooo, I went to the archives and found some posts that seem to indicate that there is not much difference between the decks....but here are a few of the numbers I found: 1690272 1690502 1691219 1691221 Is there no way to determine what model this deck is from the shell? Based on the fact that it had the old two hole arbors, I still feel it is a 1690021 because I can't imagine someone would replace a newer deck with older style arbors! :) Is there a tell tale sign or subtle difference? In the end, I don't think it matters, but curiosity is killing this cat.
wilm169 Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 From what I have seen the differance is all in the arbors.
MadMike Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 I'm not sure about 48" decks, but I do know that 42" had a height difference in the deck shell. I assume the deck that came with my 2012 was the original, 990407. I bought a used deck off of ebay to rebuild, not only did the newer deck have 6 bolt arbors, it also had about a 1" taller shell. This newer deck also had the stepped drive pulley vs. a single groove. With a little modification to the bail assy I was able to get the deck to fit without hitting the footrests. Mike
firefoxz1 Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 Some is the difference the way the front hanger mounts to the deck, one might be the differnce in bail mounting.? I don't know either but one thinks there must be to have a different mfg no. Someone may have researched this more.
Simpleton7016 Posted July 28, 2006 Author Posted July 28, 2006 This (e-bay 220009647379) is compatible with my deck right? Located down the street if so! The guy has other items too if anyone wants me to pick them up for them.....
