Snowplow Mounting Brackets Front for John Deere 46" Shovel/Snow Sweeper Mounting Bracket Replace for GXH24760 GXH24761 1Pair

What It Is

This is a pair of aftermarket snowplow mounting brackets designed to attach a 46-inch shovel or snow sweeper to the front of select John Deere lawn tractors. They replace OEM part numbers GXH24760 and GXH24761.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your tractor model and deck size. These brackets are intended for John Deere models that accept a front 46-inch attachment—typically X300, X500, and select X700 series with a 46-inch deck. Measure your tractor’s front frame width and bracket mounting hole spacing (approximately 3.5–4 inches center-to-center). This is an aftermarket part, so it may not match OEM fit exactly. Check user reviews for reports of drilling or filing needed. Not compatible with 42-inch or 54-inch decks unless your tractor’s front mount is identical.

Key Things to Know

• Installation difficulty: Moderate. Expect to remove existing front pins or bolts; some users report needing to enlarge mounting holes or add washers for a snug fit.
• Quality concerns: Mixed reviews—several note thinner metal than OEM, with potential for bending under heavy snow loads. Inspect welds for cracks before use.
• Hardware included: Brackets only. You’ll need bolts, lock washers, and pins (typically 5/16-inch or 3/8-inch grade 5). Not included—check your tractor’s existing hardware.
• Return policy: Given the 3.4-star rating, verify the seller’s return window. Some buyers report misalignment requiring returns.

Should You Buy It

If you need a budget alternative to OEM brackets and are comfortable with minor modifications (drilling, shimming), this set can work for light snow clearing. But for heavy-duty use or exact fit, the higher-cost OEM brackets (GXH24760/761) are more reliable.
