Trying to find a deck, I have a garden way 14023 on it currently, needs spindles housings bearings. Priced up kits to rebuild, looking at $500 for that and I'd still have a pitted/rotted deck.
Bolens 18300 I know is the one to have, but are there any other decks that fit? Every deck I find is rotted, spindle housings blown apart, etc. I saw a Bolens with a cub cadet deck mounted on Craigslist and this has got my brain thinking. what other model decks fit and what tractors did they come on? Finding parts is getting harder and harder for this tractor. I don't want to break down and get a new unit just yet. My father bought this new, now I have it, it's had motor swaps, currently has a 18hp Briggs, a 1900 tranny hi/lo range tranny, this thing is a beast, and would cost 13000 to replace with a x700 Deere.
Thanks guys.
