trying to identify a mower deck

Trying to identify this mower deck that came with my simplicity 7014 Baron. This deck is 43 inches wide without the discharge chute, it has three 14 1/2 blades on it. There are no tags on the deck anywhere.  it is all there, other than the missing spring for the idler pulley and the belt covers. 

I don't believe it to be the 1690271 deck that came with the baron 7014 do, to the bail being different. 

Any ideas or thoughts would be greatly appreciated

thanks

After a lot of research I think this may be a 990885 mower deck. I found some pics of a 42 inch on "Michaels tractors" in which he restored a mower deck that appears to be the same as my deck.

Looks like the deck from a 3400 Series such as a 3410. A 42" would be 990784.  I believe the 990885 has different housing with the smaller discharge opening and later style stone guard.

I'm putting this on a 78 Baron 7014, do I use the PTO belt for the original  baron deck or use the pto belt listed for the 990784. I guessing it would be for the 990784.

With a 7000 series tractor and RBT 42" deck, you want to run a 73" belt.  The Simplicity part number list for the #990784 deck is #174687 (73.1" I believe).  Closest current Simplicity belt is part  #1719746 or #1726471, both 73.24". 

I've used a generic Kevlar 73" belt  (A71) with success with my7016H and 42" mfg#1690271 deck).  I've found the 74.1" belt (#176439 or #2176439) listed for the #1690271 42" deck to be too long.

Bill I put a A71 belt on the pto and it seems to be working out just fine. Mounted the mower deck on the tractor today. With just a few adjustments had it up and mowing with no issues. Still need to make a lot of repairs but heading in the right direction. 

Thank you for your advice and input

Tom
