I have a new to me LX186 and its factory 48" deck is rusted out. Two questions- 1) will a "mulcher compatible" 48 deck work on my machine? It looks the same and 2) in your opinion, what of the 3 decks, 38, 44 or 48 works best for a bagger/leaf pickup?

Can I use BM19299, LVB24901 to raise and lower a 48" mower deck? Visually it looks very similar to the required AM130740. I found one at a good price and it would fit my plans to add some versatility to the x595 (joystick and separate mower and 3PH controls). Thanks!
