quick question - mower deck

[perry 1]

will a 42" mower deck from a 2110 fit a 7116H tractor ?. im meeting a guy halfway to do some trading and just want to make sure the deck will work for the guy. im stuck in the 60's, so im not too familiar with the newer tractors....thanks sm01

I tested my deck from my B12 on my 7114 and it worked for me

Same basicdeck, with some variations. Newer decks have a wider adjustment frame from the pivot points to the roller adjustment levers. This gets them outside of the running boards for good clearance. The newer decks also have a different drive pulley on the top of the center spindal. Will they work, yes. But some mods will need to be made.

so it will fit and work the way it is, but with parts from his old deck it should be the same as what he has . thanks...guys

It will fit but it won't work correctly until the parts are swapped over. The old FDT decks don't have the holes for the carriage bolts pre-drilled so he will need to drill the bolt holes in order to put his newer roller bar and height adjusters on it. As-is the deck will also run at a different speed because as Dave pointed out, the center pulley is a different size. He will also need to put the later style idler arm on it which has the eylet for the cable to lift the deck.
