855 attachments

I have all the mounting stuff from the 60" basket case I got with the tractor. It's so close I should go look with a tape measure.

I think they only made one 60" deck for the larger tractors. As stated I think they just changed the mounting hardware, so you should be good to go.

I checked the parts catalog and the deck shell has the same part # So the mower itself should fit. But I would be concerned about the PTO shaft as the 870 is a gear tractor. The catalog shows a lot of different numbers for the shafts. PTO speeds are the same though. I guess I'll just have to go take a look since it's only 15 minutes from me.

I saw another 72" deck for sale on Craigs that is off an 855. The tractor is in the photo and it has R1 tires on it.

May just be the shaft length. Ran into that trouble with a friend of mine, he bought a different deck for his tractor. Had to change the half of the shaft closest to the tractor. I think they just sell a universal length one now and they cut it to length.

Went and looked at it. The frt arms are the same but the rear lift straps are different. They go to the rear back by the 3 pnt hitch. The ones I have for the 60" are different also. New ones are 300 bucks so forget that idea. It didn't look used a lot but has been laying outside. If it stays there much longer it will be junk.
