giteup 2 #1 Posted October 4, 2020 New to the forum and just acquired a second 314-8 1998 with a 48 inch mower deck. The numbers are gone but when comparing it to my other 48 in deck this one has the baffles all welded in with a block off plate bolted on the side discharge opening, was this a factory mulching deck? Any help would be welcome. The outside looks the same as my other 48 inch side discharge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,033 #2 Posted October 4, 2020 Here is the 48" recycler deck There were 2 kits to add the recycler to the standard deck depending on the deck serial number. Something changed in 1997 and not uncommon to find a 1997 deck on a later model tractor. Does it look similar? Garry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
giteup 2 #3 Posted October 4, 2020 Thank you very much, like i said the numbers on the deck are gone but it was on a 1968 314-8 # 73448 serial number 8900584. Those two files will help quite a bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
