The Amazing Yazoo Mower

Yazoo Mowers are becoming increasingly rare, but they have an almost cult following of fans and owners.  They are very unique in their design, allowing them to have a zero-degree turning radius way before the modern hydraulic zero-turn mower was invented, and they have a gear shift lever that allows quick transitions from forward to reverse.

History of the Yazoo Mower

IMG_7285

Yazoo Mfg Company, founded in the mid 40’s, made several commercial duty mowers, from a heavy duty walk-behind model called the “Big Wheel”, to the 3 wheeled Master Mower, sometimes called the Yazoo Rider. Yazoo built the 3 wheeled riding mowers from sometime in the 60’s into the 80’s in a factory in Jackson, Mississippi.

The 3 wheeled Master Mower design came in a variety of power plants, with mowing decks ranging from 36″ up to a massive 76″. The model number also designates, the mower deck size. For example: YR-36, YR-42, YR-48, YR-60, and YR-76.

Later on the Yazoo company was merged with Kees, becoming Yazoo / Kees where they eventually made zero turn mowers much like the hydraulic transmission ones that are available today.

My Experience with the Yazoo Mower

I purchased the Yazoo Master Mower at a government liquidation auction. It is a commercial duty mower with a unique 3 wheeled design. Mine has the 76″ mower deck and a 23 HP Kohler engine, with the manual transmission.

My Yazoo mower was placed up for auction by the County maintenance dept. because they had just broken a axle shaft, and although they fixed it, they decided replacement parts were becoming too hard to find. The employee I spoke with was the primary user, and was sad to see it go. He preferred it to their newer commercial zero turn that replaced it.

The 76″ mower deck makes quick work of the hilly 4 acres that we mow with it. It takes some getting used to, but once you are familiar, it can hug directly around a tree and I can mow my four acres with nearly zero trimming afterword.

The blades seem to cut right up to the edges of the mower deck better than any other mower I have used. The only exception on my property is one gated off section where the mower will not fit through the gate. I plan to eventually get an 8′ gate to replace the current one at that location.

At first, the mower did struggle with many of the slopes on our property. I switched the turf style tires out for the ag-style Carlisle Super Lug tire (18×9.50-8), and it was able to climb most of the slopes we needed to mow, many of them well past the 15 degree limitation that Yazoo states. The steepest sections I can still only mow downhill, so I do need to plan the pattern accordingly.

I have unfortunately already broken an axle shaft (the same one that the previous owners had replaced), as well as the wheel hub on the same side. The axle shaft twisted and snapped at the splines. since it was a custom made replacement part, I wonder if the heat treat process was done. I welded the hub back together, and purchased a replacement axle shaft from Wagoner Power Equipment out of Ohio.

Replacement Yazoo Mower Blades

I have found it pretty difficult to find replacement mower blades for the 76″ cut mower deck, likely because it is a very unusual size – most commercial decks topping out at 72″. In addition to needing to be 26″ long, each blade has rectangular shaped cutout where the blade attaches to the spindle.

I did find that the Dixie Chopper also uses a 26″ blade, but with just a regular 5/8″ center hole at the spindle. These are more common to find and I have been successfully using 3 Oregon 391-526 BLADE DIXIE CHOPPER GATOR G6 replacement blades with my 76″ mower without issue. There is no blade interference, and the blades are actually slightly wider and heavier, have mulching fingers, and have a tungsten carbide cutting edge. They work great! Just make sure to use a lock washer and torque the spindle nuts nice and tight onto the Yazoo deck spindles.

  38. I need a wheel for a Yazoo 60″ part 2302-004. It’s the small wheel on the back of the cutter. If anyone has one and want’s to sell please text me at 937-369-4294. (BTW have you heard of people wanting to be buried in their cars? My father said he want’s to be buried on his Yazoo mower…:)

  39. I was hired as a ground maintenance supervisor at a 2400 acre private airport and at the time the owner had a 36 inch Yazoo and 2 brand new 48 inch John Deere hydrostatic mowers .
    The Yazoo was the only mower that would guarantee to be running everyday because the hydrostatics at the time were complete junk back in the 90’s . That Yazoo would run 8 hours everyday it was nuts ! To this day i cannot find a mower as reliable as that thing was .

  40. I have a Yazoo 76” diesel 23hp mower. I need mower deck quills but haven’t found any yet. It looks like I may be able to rebuild the broken one and replace the bearings. Also, a Caroni quill from 93” mower may work. If anyone knows of a source for the quills, let me know.

    1. There’s a Yazoo dealer in Beaumont, TX on College Avenue that may be able to get what you need.

  41. I have YZ 36 with an 18 horse B&S single cyl. It (engine) is a 1980 model with points ignition. the plunger that comes out of the side of engine to actuate the points seems erratic and the engine performance follows. Any one know what drives the plunger, a cam, an eccentric of some kind?

  42. Hi Ihave 2 YR48 complete units, and dealer supply of NOS parts. My father was a Wisconsin distributer/ dealer. I would like to sell package, machines and parts together.I live in west central Wi. If interested please call Dave at 715-964-5625.

  46. I have a 60″ Yazoo Hydrostatic drive mower with hauling trailer made by Yazoo for sale. This mower has a 20hp Kohler engine that runs great. I’m a little confused about the model number being 45YHRK-20 because it is a 60″ deck. The serial number is 52260 so does this mean it was built in 1960? This was my Dad’s mower and he loved it and took good care of it. Unfortunately for me the slopes in my yard are to steep for this mower. I have pictures if anyone is interested. I’m located North East Mississippi.

Will not maintain compression, only reason not keeping. Live in La Porte Indiana. I believe the cutting deck is 56. We inherited the mower in 2006 so this is all the information we have. I do have a number of pictures. I hate to sell it but I can’t afford to rebuild the engine. Let me know if interested in purchasing.

  118. I need a mower deck suspension spring for a Yazoo YR-60 or a PTO KM23. Please let me know if you know where I might find one.
    Thanks,
    Roger

  119. I have a late 70’s early 80’s model Yazoo Yard Master with a 60″ deck. My wife and I love this mower but the left head cracked. I’m either looking for a head for the 20 horse Kohler engine, or interested in selling the entire unit. Call or text if interested 812-552-4439

  120. I have a yazoo yr 60. Have had 10 years now. Fun to use but does not have breaks. I am trying to find parts. It does not look the greatest but would like to fix. Up. Has Wisconsin motor with magneto.

    2. Kevin,
      Do you still have your YR60? I used to have one and I’m very interested. Where is Freeburg? I’m Roger and I live near Little Rock. Could you text me a photo to 501-517-8346 or e-mail to [email protected]?
      Thanks,
      Roger

    3. Hello,
      Do you still have the Yazoo for sale? I am in NASHVILLE and can easily come pick it up.
      Thanks

    2. any yazoo mower with a pto to drive the deck is not a YR series. I worked for the yazoo distributor in Indiana in parts. everybody wants to call all of them yr. YR’s had a 16 hp briggs, a 12 hp agnd wisc, or a 18 hp tjd wisc engine. Kohlers came out on the models that had the pto to drive the deck. if it has the pto and throws grass to the left that is a psg model deck. if it has the pto and trows grass to the right that is the psr deck. a YR will have 2 belts that go down and make a 90 degree turn to run the deck.

  125. I have a yr60 yazoo, with a tjd Wisconsin motor. motor was overhauled a few years ago, but has not run much since. also new clutches installed in trans., for sale for 650.00. located in southern Illinois. if interested, you can call me at 618 777 2878. also have a yr48, with same motor for sale

    1. Where did you manage to find new clutches? I have a 1972 Yr60 and I’ve been toying with the idea of a total overhaul. My only hang up has been axles and clutches.

  126. I used a Yazoo 60″ in commercial work for several years. It was a great mower with an 18 horse Wisconsin engine.
    I am now trying to get my old Gravely Convertible Tractor up and running for my own use and amusement: another great machine.

    1. Would you be interested in a 16 hp Gravely ( not running ) w/ deck ?
      Located in east -central Indiana.
      I can send pictures.
      Ed

      Kevin
