I am looking to get the 54D deck for my 2320. Is this the same as a 7 Iron deck?

I have the 62D for my 2320. It makes quick work of my yard and went on and off a snap with the drive over option. I think the 7 Iron is a 72" cut.

I am looking at the 62D, apparently the new ones now dont have the brackets for lifting with the 3PH.

Not so VP. It's not the best pic (I'll have to take some better ones),but it shows the wheels

If memory serves me correctly the original 62D deck has the flat wheels but there are grease fittings and the second gen deck has the rounded wheels front and back. There was a debate a number of years ago on another forum about issues with the original deck digging in or something. It has been so long ago I forgot. If you go to JD parts you will see the differences. Also according to Deere there has only ever been 1 62D mower deck body and it has always had the 3pt brackets.

I found this 62D1 at my local dealer this morning. It was only used briefly a year ago. It has lifting brackets, rounded wheels and grease fittings. A Mechanic said that the new ones dont have the lifting brackets. This deck also has the mulching kit and blades installed, which is what I wanted. I think we have a deal. I am trading in my 4 year old 77 hr X320 for it. I wish I could keep the little guy, but it is not in the budget and I really need a big deck on the 2320. Stanton Equipment is a great dealership, they have treated me well in the last 5 years with trade ins and service.

Man,
I would seriously reconsider that deal. 62D decks run abt 2k to buy through Machinefinder and an X320 with that low hrs easy 3K. Pretty obvious why they like you sorry to say. Funny as we are retiring our 2320/62D from mowing and going back to a 265 garden tractor with a 46" deck as the wife loves her tractor time and the 2320/62D cut way to much off her time to mow 5 acres.

First off, I have been trying to sell the X320 locally. No one wants to pay 3K. Second, The deck he has there has hardly been used and has a mulch kit already installed. Third, It has the hard to find combination of lift brackets, round wheels and grease fittings. Fourth, I traded a 97 Jeep Grand Cherokee for it that was hardly worth 2K. Fifth, they like me because I am a good customer. Sixth, Your condascending reply is quite unfortunate here, this forum seems to have some decent people who treat others with respect.

Another factor to consider is I dont pay any tax with a trade in.

Not true on the 3pt brackets. The 62D that came with my 2720 in January does not have the 3 pt brackets.
The 62D deck that I got with a 2320 in 2007, had square wheels & no grease fittings. After alot of complaints, Deere's fix was for dealers to change the square wheels to rounded wheels & install grease fittings so the wheels would swivel easier. That did not completely solve the problem for me, so I moved the axle so it had a bigger offset from the swivel point. I never had another problem with the front deck wheels digging in.

One thing I do like looking at Chris's 62D is not having to be so careful when driving over. There is no obstruction(3PT pins) to worry about straddling.:thumbup1gif:
I wonder if JD decided on a poll by owners,or if they just deemed the brackets an "unnecessary" item. I use them,but only when I change blades,and so far in 2-1/2 years, that's been 1 time. In fact,if it wasn't for switching to the Gator blades I wouldn't have used them at all to this point.

New 62D1 finally
I finally got a new 62D1 mower with mulching kit. there is something wrong though, The highest I can get it to go is 3 inches. It has the 3 point hitch lift. It does cut great but because it is a mulcher I do have to go slow. The anti scalping wheels are great also, I have the deck leveled and set for 2 1/2" and the wheels dont touch the ground, that is how it is supppose to be, they are only to make contact when the grade changes. If anyone has had problems with the wheels digging in maybe your blades are not at the exact height for the appropriate adjustable wheels setting. I am going to do some more tweaking tomorrow.

PS: The used 62D1 turned out to be a 62D2 after all, I should have checked the sticker closely. If any one is interested in it let me know.
