54" mower deck

groundchuck · Oct 28, 2017

Looking for helping, I've scoured the internet without much luck. Looking for spindle shields for a 54" mower deck from a 97 345
I believe it's a 54c deck. Any help is much appreciated

not quite, i believe its a metal piece for the left and right side of the deck that shields it from debris getting in there.

If you mean the top covers over the spindles, then you can get them through your Dealer. part # shown for the RH side.
I leave these shields off my decks, because then I can blow them dry after every mowing so moisture doesn't collect in that debris that gets under the shields and causes rust.
But you need to know if a 54" or a 54C deck.

If you put up the serial number to confirm the model deck, I'll give it a shot.

Mower deck serial number has been torn off. I believe it to be a 54c on a 345 tractor.

All 345's with a 54" deck are just 54" decks and not the "c" series deck. But it certainly could have been replaced at some time after the fact. Also I do not think that 54c had metal shields, I think they are all plastic imao.

Agree with Morrisonsteel, but thought OP may have a GX345 that has a 54C deck.. He's not been too responsive, so hard to help.
Pics might help too.. as well.
