Lawn Tractor 42-in Deck Assembly (replaces 437732) 583522401

Disappointed

Installed the deck assembly which wasn't bad at all. When I tried to engage the blades to mow my lawn, It ended up smoking up the belt...stopped to see what was causing this issue. Turned out the blade near the chute was hitting the deck. I verified that the correct blades were installed. They were the correct ones for my model and connecting this deck assembly fit like a glove. I had to cut a 1/4 off the blade.in order for it to work. Paying over $900.00 which include the high shipping fee had made me very upset. I would be glad to return this and replace it with one that doesn't require any modification...just make sure the blades rotate manually before shipping the new and I will return this unit one back but will not pay the shipping......if you need pictures, I will dismantle it put one of my new blades on and you will see that it gets jammed on the unit.

Works like a new mower

Easy to assemble and mount on lawn mower, minor adjustments needed (as expected). Box damaged and was held together with a lot of tape, all parts were there.

Easy too install

Installation took 15 minutes with another 15 minutes to install anti scalp wheel and level. The weight of the deck itself makes it easier to install the wheels with the deck suspended by the mower. The washout hole was drilled to large so it was not able to be installed. Everything else went without any problems and the deck worked well. Shipping cost seemed high.

Good deck terrible packing

Over time my deck was severely worn and damage by a hidden obstacle. The new deck came in a badly damaged shipping container was missing 4 parts also one wheel bracket was bent and needed to be replaced. Once I received the parts it took about 20 minutes to assemble the deck and an additional 20 minutes to switch out the old deck with the new. The most difficult thing to put together was the spring and grass deflector.
