Kfuller2209 9 #1 Posted May 21, 2020 (edited) How many parts interchange between the 42" side discharge and rear discharge deck? I need to get spindles and some of the pulleys. Also need the wheels, rollers, and the tensioner. Worth buying a cheap donor 42" side discharge to complete my 42" rear discharge? I do know that it is a different belt but that's in the plans anyway. I should mention these are both later model 42" decks for the 300 series with attach-o-matics Edited May 21, 2020 by Kfuller2209 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daveoman1966 3,745 #2 Posted May 21, 2020 (edited) Within model years (numbers), spindles & pulleys are same. Older decks have 3/4" spindle shaft with keyway for top pulley....later models have 5/8" shaft without keyway. the 4-bolt mountings are the same across many years of 3-spindle decks.
