48” Deck - Model 78361

This is my current project.

 

I picked up this deck earlier this year and I think it’s in decent shape. After disassembling, I think I see a minor modification that was made.

That back plate is only welded in one spot and has been threaded to accept those button head Allen bolts.  Parts manuals I’ve looked at show carriage bolts and lock nuts.

 

Did WH ever change how the deck lift height bracket mounted to the shell like this?

The inside and outside plates are not factory.     I have added backer plates to many of these decks.    I use one plate to cover all 4 holes.

Thanks, Ed.  I’ll probably add a couple more plates where the deck hanger bolts on the top front.  It’s cracked there on one side already.

 

ps - this is probably one of your previous decks 😂
