does any one know a ruff price what these mower deck go for. I found one for $700.00 and it is missing the bracket to mount it to the mower. It has all new bearings and everthing looks like its there any help would be great

Seems very high priced to me and without the attachment frame it would also be useless unless you had one from a 60" deck you were junking out.....

:dunno:

Ummm.... yeah... :dunno: It seems like the 448 should come with it for that price.:banghead3

^I am not sure he has a 448...try to find a running 448 for that price...even anywhere near that price...even a running 18hp engine will draw 5-600.

IMHO the 60" deck is the least desirable of all the case decks. Unless you have a large amount of 'flat grass' to cut with minimal obstructions. The 60" deck is the least maneuverable of all, that said a 44 -48" deck complete in good shape with brackets would likely go for $150 up to? based on condition. IHMO a 60" deck in the shape it sounds should draw~ 300-450 based on condition alone.

again that is my $.02 and my Dad taught me something is only worth what you can get someone to pay for it...

I traded my 60 inch deck for a tiller and a single bottom plow. I would say it is worth 350-400 tops, a lot less without the mule and carriage. Those may prove a real bear to find on their own.

An RM60 intact with good pulleys and freshly running is worth the $700 quoted, IMHO. New is $2700 and yes I do sell them at that (2 new from our shop in the past 12 months).

An older M48 etc. is perhaps worth a fair bit less.

If this is missing all the mule drive componentry, that is really expensive to replace and likely will not be located used. If you drop me an Email with the details (photo?) on what's missing, I can give you some guidance. If only the main support frame, then it may be worth it.

The RM60 is my personal favorite ... used on a 1 1/2 acre property with plenty of trees. Amazing reduction in cutting time vs. RM48. But I do keep both in service, using the RM48 mostly for mulching and vacuum duty.

There have been a couple of 60" decks on ebay recently. One is in deep south Iowa. Don't remember if it is right or left discharge.

Plus plastic wheel weights.
I gotta get one of my 448s running so I can use that deck. I have a left hand 60" deck also that I might convert to right hand discharge with some modifications.

I agree with Brian here. The RM60's generally sell from $700 to $1000 in good working condition and not all beat up. Many of these decks get the front pushed in or the discharge chute gets pretty well hammered from banging into objects such as trees, etc. If the mule drive bracket is missing then that plays a big role in the price of the deck as well. I recently sold a complete used mule drive bracket for the RM60 decks for $150. These brackets are almost impossible to come by used. If that deck is missing the mule drive mount then that is certainly a bargaining chip because it is not cheap to replace it, new or used.

I have used both the RM48 and RM60 and the RM60 is great if you have a considerable amount of grass to mow. I really like them when it comes to reaching in under branches especially pine trees so you don't have to get the tractor as close and scratch up all your paint on the side of the tractor.

Good Luck,

Dan
