Mowing RCK60-24B deck install

SwampCat · Jul 4, 2015

First of all, HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA:cool2: New owner of a B7510, it came with a FEL. I just got a RCK60-24B deck and all of the brackets. Now I am trying to figure out the mounting. Got the operators manual with the deck ( thankfully ) but still have concerns as to where the hyd. line on the right side should sit between the lift arm and the connecting rod. Anyone with a B7500,B7510,or a B7610 would you have a picture of where yours is routed ? Just trying to avoid installing this twice. Not much room in this area for the moving linkage with the hyd. line snaking through there. Thanks.

Thanks ever so much for the pictures, the middle picture of the right side is the hyd. line in question. I am going to print YOUR picture and then go look at mine. Stay tuned.

Let me know if you need anymore . Those rods connect the deck to the 3 point arms , they do run close to the hydro lines and just under the filters .

Heres what it boils down to.Does the hyd. hose go above or below the rear hanger bracket and lift arm ? Thetooth, from your picture, it looks like it goes BELOW. While underneath this thing, I noticed the guard around the universal going to the front axle is boogered up. But one thing at a time.

Thetooth would you be kind enough to take a picture from below on the right side showing how the hyd. hose to the loader is routed . Thanks. That is if you can stop collecting orange tractors.:cool2:

Those photos are in the above post . They are the 3rd and 4th photo left to right . One line in near the white filter and the other two are shown in the 4th near the loader frame .

The hose near the filter is ty wrapped off the frame of the tractor .

Couldn't help buying the Bx . Price was right and I needed a new mower . The Bx's are nice machines .

Got it, thanks. Gator blades finally showed and got installed. Work light project is complete with the TuffLED stuff. Next is some type of U joint guard for the front, plastic is NOT looking good. Short of tall grass, is there any reason to cover it up ? It does not have a grease fitting so it wont make a mess till it goes out. Then one of these days I can finally mow something.
