gmc5135 8 #1 Posted June 25, 2019 I have a 522xi that I want to put a larger deck on. I have tracked down a 60" deck off of a 520H, but I can't find anything saying whether or not it is compatible. The mounting system on the 520H deck looks similar to my smaller deck on the 522xi. I just figured that if they were compatible I would have found many more people talking about it. Can anyone say for sure whether the decks are interchangeable? If they're not, what is different about them? I'm not opposed to doing a little work to make it fit. Finding a 60" deck specifically for the 522xi seems impossible. Thank you in advance for the help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lynnmor 7,302 #4 Posted June 25, 2019 I think you will find that the hitch is wider on your tractor. Don't know how many parts will need to be replaced or altered to make it fit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebo-(Moderator) 8,330 #5 Posted June 26, 2019 The 520 deck will NOT fit on a 5XI machine. The only thing that is the same is the shell. I looked at it closely and it is a no go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gmc5135 8 #6 Posted June 26, 2019 Thank you all for your responses. I guess I'll have to be patient and try to wait for one local. @bmiller0457 Thanks for the tip. I was hoping to stumble upon one local. I do however make my way right by pleasant valley on my way to Connecticut every once in awhile. If I can't find one local by the next time I'm headed that way, I'll reach out to you. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
