Hi All,I am looking for a complete Cutting Deck for s Viking Rideon Mower Model MT433T.What wouldbe the cost? And would there be an alternative Cutting Deck that could be used?
Thanks
John.

John,

Your model number should be under the seat of the ride on it will have five numbers followed by an 'X' followed by two numbers and a letter. Stihl are trying to make it hard for the public to buy parts by not making parts list available to the public (only dealers).

Note that your ride on was made by Murray for Stihl so it is a generic product like most of the brand name suppliers.

I have a viking here with a 40" deck that i could wreck.
Not sure what the abreviated model is. 12.5HP with a 5 speed transaxle.
Sticker on the back says Murray made. Best i can work out from the date its a 2000 model. If it is its had a hard life.

The deck is still ok but a bit beat up and some surface rust. Damaged where the discharge chute bolts on, but thats easy fixed.
Even though the pan of the deck might be right, you might still be missing hardware.

I have a 2000 model MT433H here, the pan is the same between the two but this one has the height control in the LH guard and the PTO lever out the right of the console/bulkhead near your knee.
The older model has the height control mounted off the deck on the RH side and the PTO is a lever up out of the console like a hand throttle on a tractor.

You being in Brisbane might be an issue as freight is not cheap.


Might be a good idea if you could take some pictures of your machine. Under where the deck goes as well to show the PTO and height adjustment. No point looking at buying a pan if you need all the tricky bits to mount it and make it work.

Thanks for your reply.The mower is on Ebay and the bidding is higher than i am prepared to go.There is no fittings or deck.
Regards
John.
