Sometimes I get lucky with an auction purchase. I do have a JD deck that is 48" wide with a center drive pulley.

The 2 ears on the back will have to be plasma cut off along with the front roller. The only rust hole is over by the discharge and the size of a penny. The deck mandrels need new bearings installed. The drive belt will need to be a little longer, the front of the deck to the center of pulley is 2" farther back. I did forget to measure the deck width front to back to make sure the Allis has enough wheel base.
I also put the haban sickle bar mower under the economy to see how it will fit. I need to remove the mule drive and the lift arms for a center mount mower.
