Power Flow for John Deere 455 with 60 inch deck

daveohio · May 21, 2015

Howdy? I am trying to figure out which model of power flow or other blower to use for a grass collection system for my John Deere 455 with 60 inch deck. The dealer was much help. I plan on building the rest of my system to collect the grass in my trailer unless I happen upon a 3-bagger at a decent price.

You should be able to find the correct blower for your deck/tractor here:

Did you find the power flow unit in jdparts?
I didn't, but did find individual parts.
The complete Power Flow may not be available as a BM number.

Dave:
There is one listed on CL as a package deal, but you may be able to find the number by contacting the listing.
John Deere 445 L&G Tractor

Also, search of other CL may turn up the one you are looking for.

No --- You can't find the complete system (far as I know) with one BM number. Sure would be nice if you could. Any time that I've searched for a power flow system, I've had to add up all of the parts. I forgot how many part numbers there were --- something like six I think. I thought he was just interested in the blower --- that should be just one part number.

The Power Flow blower used to be one BM number, NLA.

Now the parts for just the blower are like 43 all told. Here is pic of the 60" deck Power Flow schematic.

Thanks guys. The parts guy at the dealer seemed to just be guessing and said there would be fairly extreme modifications to the deck, but I've sen them installed without much if any modification. Those were all older and the owners haven't gotten back to me including one on this forum. Beenthere, I am going to contact that CG ad now.
Sorry I didn't get back right away. My spam filter might be blocking notifications from this website.

Not much modification, other than to remove the right side belt cover, exchange the sheave driving the right side blade with the double sheave for the Power Flow belt, and add the appropriate bracket to hang the PF on to the deck.

I'm gonna give an Ohio Steel Lawn Sweeper a shot.

I have an older Billy Goat vacuum with a blower nearly identical to my Woods and Agri Fab leaf vacuum collection trailers.
