Maybe someone with John Deere deck part no./model number expertise can help with this one. I'm trying to pick up a used standard deck (not a mulching) for my 2001 GT225. JD Corp tells me to look for model 38CAA, 42CAA, and 48CAA decks. 38" is too small, so I'm looking for either the 42C or the 48C. Haven't seen that many 42Cs and the 48C are pushing my budget some. Most of these seem to come off LX series from LX255 on up and the GT series 225/235/245.

I was looking to see if there are any other possible decks that would fit and the parts list I got off the web last year, shows a BM18361, SKU19118, and SKU21354 48" deck part numbers would fit a GT225. From the new, old stock 48Cs I've seen listed on sites like machinefinder, the SKU21354 seems to be a 48CAA model deck. But, I can't seem to find out what models are the SKU19118 and BM18361 decks. I am particulary interested in the BM18361 deck. This seems to have been an option on at least some of the earlier LX series (172-188). The smaller decks seem more popular with the earlier LX series, but it seems as though many of the LX188s came with a 48" deck. I think I've seen 48CAD, 48DD model decks, but I don't know if these are BM18361 or SKU19118 decks that would also fit by GT225 as well as the 48CAA deck. I thought this information would be out there on the web somewhere, but I can't find anything that seem to cross the JD part numbers with the JD deck model numbers. Well, if anyone has any info on this, it would be appreciated. Thanks.
