My 22 yo RCK60-24B MMM deck began having issues with perforation from rust and sand blasting. I would guess 80%+ of the B2410'S 2520 hrs was mowing... so it served me well. I did not envy the thought of patching hole... once you start it seems like it never ends. A new painted .replacement deck shell from Kubota was $2369 plus shipping from Ohio or Kansas to my dealer
Just for grins and giggles I looked for a used deck shell.

Check out what I found on line and less than 2 1/2 hrs away for $950. The mower deck was like brand new with a bunch of new parts still on it. If you back out the cost of the new parts I actually picked it up for $700.

I have several of the big old Bolens garden tractors & their mowing decks has a water hose fitting that you hook the hose up to after mowing & run the mower & water at the same time to clean out the deck after mowing . Do these decks for the Kubotas have that feature ?

My Craftsman lawn-tractor/mower has that fitting and after using it…. and looking beneath… it actually doesn’t do much. I now run it up partially onto ramps and use the pressure-washer.

For what it is worth guys and gals... This guy has a bunch of surplus stuff... he only deals in implements and parts off the implements.... lots of Deere and Kubota parts. The one thing that struck me was the number and selection of MMM gear boxes, universal drive lines and decks. He will be my go to before I buy new at double+ the price.
He does not advertise, found him by accident and communicate with him via telephone/text. Really knowledgeable and a nice guy at that.
