Found a good pic on the net

That's neat! I'll try to fabricate something!

This is the deck . 48" LH discharge

I was wrong, it's thinner sheet metal, like 1/16"

Here's a better pic of mine.

Thanks for all the advice guys.

I'm going to see about a 48" deck and sell to
This 60" one then... Bummer

Also wouldn't mind scoring a log splitter but they seem rare as a hens tooth!!

Turboff 60” decks are hard to find in my location. You should be able to get top dollar for yours in its condition. Harry

I agree with Harry, you should be able to get good money for the 60"deck.
I've been thinking the person that traded the tractor and deck in just threw them together and took advantage of the trailer place not knowing that it didn't fit.
It's a bummer, their cut quality is raved about, although the narrower decks do a very nice job too.

I guess it's a long shot... but by chance was the tractor lengthened to use the 60" deck?

Your last option is to keep it till you find a 448 to put it on. These tractors do have a tendency to multiply.

Thanks guys, so based on the chart this is a 1971, not a 1972 (serial # 9652401)
I just took some pics of the underneath of this deck I have. frickin mint! doubt it was ever used by this guy. The trailer place did say that the guy who traded it in they call the "doctor" because he is rich and barely uses his stuff. Apparently he never mowed with the machine so that makes sense why the 60 was probably never even mounted to it.

Like the other have said , you can get really good money for it or save it for your next Case .
