A fabricated floating mower deck delivers high-quality cut

W52R mower deck

John Deere commercial mower decks have always demonstrated quality, performance, and durability. Each commercial walk-behind mower is equipped with a high-quality fabricated mower deck:

10-gauge, 0.135-in. (3.42-mm) fabricated steel deck top with added 10-gauge, 0.135-in. (3.42-mm) spindle mounting plate
7-gauge, 0.19-in. (4.8-mm) side skirts with reinforcement bar

The fabricated, floating mower deck delivers an extremely high-quality cut in diverse conditions:

Floating suspension enables the best possible cut.
Reinforced front lower edge gives strength and durability.
Anti-scalp wheels are double-captured for durability and adjustable to three positions to suit the cut height.
Deep-deck design for superior capacity.
Side and center anti-scalp wheels promote a smooth mowing job.

The mulching attachment allows for conversion of the mower deck so it can be used to perform the mulching function (grass or leaves).

Operating tips when mulching:

Mow when grass is dry.
Observe the one-third rule.
- No more than one-third of the grass blade should be cut off at one time. This allows more efficient mulching and will promote the continued good health of the grass.
- If the desired cut height cannot be achieved by cutting off one-third, or there is clumping of the clippings, it may be required to cut higher, wait a day, then lower the mower and make a second pass.
Mow at proper intervals, approximately every four to five days.
Always mow with sharp blades.
Adjust ground speed to allow the mower deck to process the clippings effectively.

Propane conversion lowers emissions while reducing fuel and maintenance costs

Propane conversion kit on a walk-behind mower

Dual propane conversion kit on a QuikTrak™ Mower

John Deere provides application-specific Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved field-installed propane conversion kits for specific John Deere commercial walk-behind mowers, QuikTrak Mowers, and commercial ZTrak™ Mowers. The conversion kits include all components required to convert the engines to operate on propane fuel. Single-tank or dual-tank brackets (depending on the vehicle) are provided for securely holding the propane tank(s) to the vehicle.

Propane tanks are not included.

An optional altitude kit is required when operating at altitudes above 2000 ft (610 m). The operator’s manual with the propane conversion kit provides further details. Parts must be ordered separately through John Deere Parts.

Propane facts:

Propane is flammable and commonly used as a fuel.
The molecular formula of propane is C3H8, and it is in the family of liquefied petroleum gases (LP gases). The other LP gases include butane, propylene, butadiene, butylene, isobutylene, and mixtures thereof.
Propane is commonly available and has proven to be a dependable, safe, economical, and clean-burning fuel. It can be used as household fuel, industrial fuel, and fuel for internal combustion engines. Propane has been used as a fuel since 1910.
At atmospheric pressure, propane boils at -44°F (-42.2°C), meaning it typically exists as a vapor. However, when contained under pressure, such as in a propane cylinder, it can exist as a liquid.
Propane is naturally odorless, but includes an additive odorant, usually mercaptan, which gives it a distinct odor.
Vapor propane is heavier than air, meaning it will settle in low areas such as along the ground or in drains.

Advantages of John Deere propane conversion kits include:

Reduced fuel costs up to 30 percent depending on fuel prices
Lower emissions
Reduced fuel-system maintenance
Maintains John Deere warranty
EPA and CARB certified
May qualify for national and state rebate and incentive programs.

Propane tank mounting bracket options:
