Hi folks.
I have a;
2002 GT3000
23.0 HP, 48" Mower
Electric Start
6 Speed
My 48" mower deck has served me well. However, the underneath is showing it's wear from moisture and is getting thin in areas. Time to replace the deck shell at a minimum.
I'm having a heck of a time finding a new OEM (direct/no fuss) bolt-in unit in 48" for a reasonable price.
Checking through Sears Parts Direct, a shell is available. However.
I have found a Craftsman 46" complete deck with very little use (no rust) that looks almost identical to my 48" that might possibly work.
Pictures comparing the two decks show that mount points are the same in front of the deck, and the rear mounts look VERY similar.
I was wondering if someone can confirm if the 46" deck will in fact work for my need?
Thanks in advance.
