I have an RC54-71B, with the manual that covers both the RC54-71B and the RC60-71B. They don't look like your mower. I think the -71B part is important when determining which mower fits which machine. Do you have any numbers after the "RC60"?

AHA!!

see you already helped!

went back out & looked at it again.. the ONLY numbers on that faded tag you can read are:

RC60-92H

maybe that helps?

Well to start with, that's the wrong mower for that tractor, will it work???? :confused:

That should have had a RC60-72H, makes it a lot easier to mount it up if it's the right mower to start with. ;)

Now go to kubota.com and open Illustrated Parts List for both the RC60-72H and the RC60-92H and start comparing brakets, and note braket Part #'s.

Now just because it has the same brackets it still might not line up due to the deck being different, but maybe you'll get lucky and get it to work. :cool:

again you guys come thru & are awesome...

this is where my noobness comes into play! had no clue there where different 60" decks for these.

this came with it & my wife wants to put it on there. i dont actually need it & would rather just trade it on a hog or sell it.

BUT she wants it to work. if it gets her to mow the grass? it would be worth it. LMAO

will check out the link & parts list to see what else is missing.

That was exactly my thought -- I d/l a chart dated 2003 showing which mowers go with which tractors. The -72H is supposedly the correct mower for the B7100. The -92H is not listed on that chart but Google revealed it's for a B9200.

However, the photos SDK1968 posted are clearly of a -92 mounted on a B7100. Maybe Kubota came up with a B7100 mounting kit because the -72H was discontinued?

Now go to kubota.com and open Illustrated Parts List for both the RC60-72H and the RC60-92H and start comparing brakets, and note braket Part #'s.

Now just because it has the same brackets it still might not line up due to the deck being different, but maybe you'll get lucky and get it to work. :cool:
The mounting is completely different. I'll take some photos of mine tomorrow when it's light out.

Well it's kind of buried under frozen leaves right now, but here's some picks of the -72H. First, mounted to the tractor:





Now, just the brackets with the deck removed:



And everything roughly in place off the tractor:



A closup of the front bumper mount:



These two hooks mount on the lower 3ph pivot pin and hook over the arms. The rods then raise and lower the assembly with the 3ph:



To be honest, I think it's a crappy design, suitable only for a perfectly flat field. There is insufficient space under the tractor for all that hardware and as a result, the mower deck bangs up against the underside on even small dips in the ground.

When it came to me, the tapped mounting holes in the tractor frame were all stripped and bent and after fixing them and trying the mower I am convinced it is because the deck cannot float sufficiently to accommodate a real-world lawn. If the dip is sufficiently deep, the weight of the tractor ends up sitting on the mower, forcing the dolly wheels into the ground if it's soft enough, or bending metal if it's not.

Maybe the -92H mounting system will be better, if you can get it sorted.

awesome pix & info!

i appr'd this very much.

YES this is WAY different than what ive got or got hanging there.

no front brackets or mounts at all, but i do have the rear rods & stuff...

was thinking it sure didnt look like it had much room to move under there & NO my place is not flat at all.

this pretty much convinces me to stick with my Hustler HD for mowing the yard & use this for snowblowing & hogging as originally planned.

oh: it also has become pretty clear on inspection that the person who had this tractor did quite a bit of welding on the case & mounting plate areas of this tractor.. might have been to get that deck to fit with the missing pieces..

so looks like im gonna just sell this deck or trade it on a hog.

wonder who would want a RC60-92H deck... lmao will post it in the classifieds.

thanks & if theres anything i can do to help any of you guys with your hobbies let me know.

Somebody with a B9200 tractor, perhaps.

(It might also fit other models, google just found a reference to that deck in the B9200 manual).

turns out its just a hair to big to post here...

but if you need it.. just ask.. i'll email it to you!
