Bolt pattern on deck should be the same. However, must be zone-start to zone-start, or BBC to BBC.

BBC = blade brake clutch, right? I'm not sure what zone start is? You are saying that the machine must be with or without BBC and zone start same as the other? This machine has a dead man on the handle but no blade brake clutch. What type of machine can I interchange onto?

BBC is Blade Brake Clutch. Zone-Start is more common system where engine kills when you release deadman. Zone-Start has blade directly bolted to crankshaft.

Although deck casting for both models is same, There is different drilling and machine work on the two models to accomodate BBC or Zone hookups.

Unless you have machining skills, or have access to a machine shop, I suggest you not try to cross a BBC deck with a Zone deck.

Your call.
