Kubota Mid Mount Mower Model Differences

[Butch]

My RCK60-24B MMM on the B2410 has the majority of the tractor's 2500 hours on it and is showing significant underside abrasive deck ware. My plan is to swap the mower deck shells out and transferring all my existing 24B parts to an almost new 27B(A) mower deck shell.

Can anybody tell me the differences between a Kubota RCK60-24B MMM and a Kubota RCK60-27B(A) MMM? The in close up pictures the deck shells appear to be identical. The blade lengths are both 20 3/8" and spin clockwise. They also indicate as the same part numbers.
Worst case scenario for me is I drive almost 3 hours and find out my 24B spindle mounts and gear box mount ect. won't mate up to the 27B(A) shell.

As usual... all advice welcome.

Ok... it is my time to put on the dunce cap and go sit in the corner. My original question was simple regarding swapping one Kubota deck shell for another, ie.... a RCK60-24B to a RCK60-27B(A). Charlie, an old Kubota Tech for like 40+ years, got back to me and asked if I compared the two deck shell Kubota Part Numbers? Told him nope... that would have been too easy.

Charlie ain't gonna let me live this one down... spent the better part of 3 days researching this and all I had to do look up the part numbers.

Glad you got it figured out. I have no practical reason to know but are they the same or no?
