Pete D 83 #1 Posted April 25, 2023 Will it be possible to install and use my 48" mower deck (Model 5-1210) with the front end loader attached? Will leaving the FEL on greatly reduce the effectiveness as a mower? Thanks in advance! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pete D 83 #3 Posted April 26, 2023 Guess I'll continue fixing my Cub Cadet (GT1554), or get a mower deck for my JD LX178, unless the front end loader is really easy to remove & replace. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Achto 27,594 #4 Posted April 26, 2023 Not a real easy job to remove & install a loader. If I had a loader it would be dedicated to one tractor. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pete D 83 #5 Posted April 26, 2023 Well, that's what I bought it for, so that's what it will be. The JD is a 400 CC water cooled Kawasaki, so it's probably worth paying $300 for a used deck for it. Just need to sell a snowblower that's attached to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
