Greetings from Vermont.<br>
I've been using an old JD #261 rotary mower for years and it <br>
finally rusted out. Bought a new deck only, JD part #AM101544, at the JD dealer and am swapping out pulleys, spindles ect. The transmission mounting for the transmission body to the deck on my old one had welded tabs to the deck with two <br>
holes punched on the vertical axis sides aligned with the holes on the <br>
side of the trans housing. The new deck didn't have those tabs but had prepunched holes.Bought a set of angle iron brackets <br>
from the dealer #M74198 and the holes still don't line up to the <br>
prepunched holes on the new deck. Did JD change the design at <br>
any time or use different tranny types with different bolt spacings? Mine is a "Curtis" type.The grass is up to our neck and I don't have a stick welder! Any help would be greatly appreciated. <br>
