John Deere mower deck 42" X106 X107 X125 X126 X127 X147 115 125 105 102 135

Our old mower deck rusted through after some 15 years of abuse, topping our three and a half acre ridge and furrow horse paddock. A year of patched up use later brought the point where we were spending more time replacing or re-attaching drive belts than mowing, or so it felt. We found the replacement on Amazon and, after a sharp intake of breath at the price and not a little trepidation, ordered it. It arrived in a strong cardboard box on a pallet. After unpacking and checking that it was likely to fit, loaded it into a vehicle to take to the mower.After removing the old deck, the only parts needed were the two support arms. Everything else came with the replacement. The instruction booklet mentioned drilling out the holes for the securing pins but, in our case, there was no need, so it was a straight forward case of sliding the old deck out and sliding the new in (apart from the support arms), connecting up and making adjustments to get the deck level. Removing the old deck, fitting the new and making adjustments took one person just over an hour. Topping an acre was the test run and, if anything, the replacement seemed to be better than the original when it was new.Expensive? Yes, but certainly worth it for us, especially when you add up what the individual parts would have cost.

My mower has a perfectly serviceable chassis and engine but the deck was worn out and rusting. Repaired a couple of times ,it finally gave up the ghost. By buying this replacement deck has completely rejuvenated the mower. It comes with a updated lift system and is easy to fit. Lets face it it is an OEM part so fitting accuracy is not a problem.At £850 it is quite an investment but if you chassis and engine are good it is a lot cheaper than buying a complete mower.
