I'd get the 1/4 x 1.5" heavy-duty ones, which you can also use in your tractor's driveshaft.

KEVIN P. - re. replacing roll pin on steering arm: Try to gently tap a small screw driver, putty knife, something thin into the space between the steering arm & frt axle casting, Keep trying to get thicker blades into the gap that hopefully opens up until You can pry the arm off. If the arm spun on the spindle You have NO idea when the holes are lined up. Then tap the broke pin pcs out, install arm, insert new roll pin.
And since replacing roll pins is a fact of Life with a CC, I've had times when the local hardware store didn't have the spirol style (HD?) roll pin so in order to get running again I just kept looking for smaller & smaller dia. pins to fit inside the size I needed. And like Jeff says.... "BUY EXTRA!"

Good news for all you guys back east, a big storm came through here last night and dropped a lot of rain here in the valley and lots of snow in the mountains of northern Arizona. Two more big storms headed this way in the next week and they should bring you guys a lot of snow. You better gas up the Cubs and get ready.
Hello everyone,
Could someone please post a picture of what the gauge wheel brackets look like for a 42" rotary mower deck? I have the brackets that are illustrated in the manuals for a 38" deck that mount near the center of the deck but my deck has the 3, square hole bolt pattern, mounting holes at the outside back edge on both far ends of the deck not the holes near the center as a 38" deck would. The reason I'm asking is when I mount the deck runners I just purchased from a forum member the runners interfering with the gauge wheels themselves. Now, I don't have the deck mounted on the tractor (149) and the tractor has 23 x 1050 – 12 turf tires mounted. I don't see how I can move the gauge wheel brackets in towards the center with the current mounting holes (the bolt pattern doesn't lend itself to moving the brackets closer to the center). Doesn't a 42" rotary mower use deck runners the mounting holes are there? Certainly I shouldn't need to put 23 x 85 – 12 tires on the tractor and drill new mounting holes in the deck just to move the gauge wheel brackets in.
Since I'm new to IHCC rotary mower decks if a deck measures 42" outside blade edge to outside blade edge is this deck considered a 38", 42" or a 44" deck? I looked through both the archives and the FAQ but didn't find anything to answer this.
Any help would be great!

Richard C. Oh, man. That means that I have to get the 125 back together again soon. The "D" and blade work great only sometimes you just need a tractor with a snowthrower. I took this with my cell phone today. Isn't the best couple of pictures however this is one of our neighbor's driveway. Steve had a drift a little over 8 inches high across it.
Next year I'm going to have the hydraulic blade on this guy. I'll put this blade back on the Keepsake 1650.

Kenneth, the deck width would be the cutting width blade tip to blade tip. On a 42" deck the outboard mounted gauge wheels are each held on with two carriage bolts. Here's some photos of a VERY rusty deck I have in my parts pile. I have 3 other 42" mower decks in good to very good condition and do you think I have a detail photo of any of them? ARGH!
I do have this of one of the better decks installed.
One thing to keep in mind is that the wideframes used the 38" deck and the 44" decks not sure they were designed to use the 42" deck (even if the Parts Lookup lists it) because of the rear tires interfering with gauge wheels. The later versions of the 42" deck, those with the half round runners instead of the round runners did not come with gauge wheels as standard. The Operator's Manual for the 86, 1x8/9 series shows the 38", 44" and 50" decks but not the 42" deck.

Marlin H.,
Any deep sump Kohler pan will work for the spacing to make the cradle upgrade for the Keepsake 1650. I had to replace the pan on my 1450, the PO did not replace the ISO mounts and let both left (carb) side engine mount bolts vibrate out of the pan. When Dad and I pulled the engine there was probally a quarter inch of pan missing from the outside edge. The muffler enclosure box was actually touching the left side panel. Bought another pan and bolted it to the replacement rails I bought (they were shot too). Had it welded up, and took it apart and put the new pan on the engine. The engine mount bolts are a bear to get in and tight.

MARLIN - With the wind Sunday I had a drift 3 FEET tall about 10-12 ft away from the door of My shop, tapered down to only 1-1/2 ft tall at one end. It was 7-8 feet from front-to-back too. LOT of snow in that one.
I keep waiting for the County to get out here with the articulated endloader to dig out My mailbox. The post is 5 ft tall and all I can see is the top inch or so of it, 3-4 feet back from the start of the snow drift.
I got a pile of snow from the driveway about the size of one of those one-stall garages I need to move but have to swap the blade out for the bucket on the H. I don't have the chains on the M, even with 900# of weight on the back and the luxury of power steering it's not worth starting it to not be able to move snow.
Son's coming over Christmas Day, maybe We'll put the chains on the M and PLAY in the snow. I think We're setting a record this year for the "Whitest Christmas" on record.
Just got back from an Emergency run to Farm & Fleet. There's a LOT of people in residential areas of Madison that almost have tunnels leading to their garage doors. With more good news like Richard C.'s We're ALL looking for a week somewhere warm & sunny.

Kenneth/Kraig, I have a 38 deck that came with my 128, and came across a 42 deck last year. It appeared to me that the deck shells were identical. The only diff I could find was the 38 deck used the inside grease holes in the outer pulley covers(yellow covers in Kraig's pic's). The 42 deck used the outer holes. My 38 deck has flat runner's as apposed to the round ones and no gauge wheels, but the mounting holes are there. I believe that I asked about putting the wheels on a 38 deck in the past and was told they would have to be mounted inside the wheel! What a pain that would be to change out the deck
