New Red Gravely Commercial Spindles
The spindles have had numerous interior changes to improve reliability and longevity. The new spindles are the same shape and profile as previous black commercial spindles and can be identified by their red exterior paint. These spindles are still covered by a 3-year commercial warranty.
Discharge Opening
The discharge opening has been increased by 10-20% (depending on deck size).This change will improve clipping dispersal, especially in demanding cutting situations.
Optimized Discharge Chute Profile
The chute profile has been optimized for even clipping dispersal and reduced windrowing.
Standard Adjustable Vacuum Baffles
Vacuum baffles will be standard on Pro-Turn 400, Pro-Turn 200 and Pro-Turn 100 models, allowing the deck to be adjusted depending on the conditions for minimum performance.
Note: New spindles, larger discharge openings, and optimized chute profile are also now standard on Pro-Master 200, Pro-Master 320, Pro-Master Rapid XZ, Pro-Turn, ZT HD, and Max Zoom® models with serial numbers greater than 20,000.
Yup my mounting is different on my 452. So im not sure? My XF1 cut awesome so I wouldnt have changed it on my own. The adjustability on the FX2 is nice though. Posted via Mobile Device

Thanks GMLC. I'm having QOC issues with my machine and the only way I seem to be able to get a good cut is by double-cutting. This is on dry grass that is only 4 or 4 1/2" high at time of cutting with the deck set at 3 1/2" and freshly sharpened blades.
Any recommendations on things to check to see if the deck is setup appropriately?

The mounting points on the X-Factor 1 and X-Factor 2 look like they are in the same location based on the pictures in your X-Factor 2 review thread. Guess I'd just like to get a definitive answer from Gravely. The questions I'd like answered are:
1) Is the X-Factor 2 deck compatible with pre-20000 serial number Pro-Turn 100 series mowers?
2) Is the X-Factor 2 deck compatible with any pre-20000 serial number Pro-Turn mowers? If so, which model / serial numbers?

1/4" pitch measured at the blades(1/4" down in the front). Sharp factory blades. My FX1 cut awesome. Plenty of pics in my 452 review. You shouldnt have to double cut. What kind of turf are you cutting? Posted via Mobile Device

The 400 series does not hang the deck with chains, it has control rods. The back bracket appears different to me. I could be wrong its hard to tell. Really ProStreetCamaro would know, he has both machines. Posted via Mobile Device
Our engineers confirmed that the core deck shells of the Pro-Turn 400 models (pre and post 20,000 serial numbers) are interchangeable, but the chute is not interchangeable between the two.
The decks are not available for purchase as a complete assembly, however.
We are sorry if this caused confusion. Please let us know if you have questions.
The core deck shells of the Pro-Turn 100 are interchangeable within the Pro-Turn 100 series (pre and post 20,000), and the core deck shells of the Pro-Turn 200 are interchangeable within the Pro-Turn 200 series (pre and post 20,000). The chute on the X-Factor II deck is wider, so the chute is not interchangeable between the two decks.
X-Factor II deck isnt sold as a complete assembly, but the deck shell can be ordered separately. All components except for the chute assembly can be transferred over, so the chute and brackets for the X-Factor II deck would also have to be ordered.
The X-Factor II deck is standard on all Pro-Turn 100, 200 and 400 models for serial numbers greater than 20,000.
Decks have stickers saying limited lifetime warranty. Sounds pretty cool. GMLC, you are such a nice person with so much knowledge and advice to give. Thank you for all the help in the past. Gonna go check out some Gravely cuts.
