josephvigg 88 #1 Posted August 4, 2022 Good Morning all - I have the opportunity to buy a NOS 36" rear discharge deck. Model number 05-36XR01 I'm looking to mount it to a 312-A with a attachomatic system I found in the files an accessory compatibility chart but it doesn't seem to be compatible. I have read here before that almost all decks are compatible if they are designed for attachomatic systems and as long as the tractor has an attachomatic system. Any help on this topic would be very much appreciated. Thank you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter lena 8,589 #2 Posted August 4, 2022 @josephvigg typically those 312 ,s came with the 42" side or rear discharge deck , the 36 " R/D was usually on the 8-10 hp models , but the attachomatic set up is the same , that deck will work, just a narrower cut . used mine for years . you can look up the easy mounting of that and related mule drive , on this site , pete 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ri702bill 8,296 #3 Posted August 4, 2022 Joseph - that deck is for the B series tractors that have a vertical shaft engine. Your 312 Automatic has a horizontal shaft engine. The decks to fit a 300 series are similar as far as the shell and spindles, the rest is different. Some folks here have converted them for horizontal shaft use - got a rotted out 36" RD C, 300, 400, or 500 series deck with usable mounts?? Bill 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,812 #4 Posted August 4, 2022 I just found a 36” RD that I forgot I had! A mid 60’s deck was on top and I thought they were both 90 degree gear driver jobbers! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inspectorjoe 471 #5 Posted August 4, 2022 ri702bill nailed it. With some patience, you should be able to find a compatible deck in bad shape and use its mounting hardware. I assume the NOS deck is from the guy who has five for sale. Last night, I made a deal to buy one. I'm putting it on a B-112, so I won't have any modifications to do. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clueless 2,976 #6 Posted August 4, 2022 Short answer, no it is not compatible that is why it is not listed in the chart. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
