cleat 7,030 #1 Posted yesterday at 02:16 PM (edited) This is the deck that came with the 416 I bought last fall and just brought home. Previous owner decided that ATV tires were the way to go so the deck has unfortunately been notched for clearance. Teardown just started. This pulley was seized to shaft. Heating the center of the pulley red hot freed it up. The other two just slid off. Deck shell. Other than the notched cut out it looks to be in great shape. Deck baffle is not as good.

Skwerl58 750 #2 Posted yesterday at 02:30 PM Other than the cut outs that deck looks very good. This deck will clean up nice. I do the under side oil soak on my deck every year and it does prevent most all of the rust. These rebuildable spindles are durable and usually can be repaired with local parts house bearings. "Greasy Pete" has guided lots of us in preserving bearing life and deck life with his tips. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nylyon-(Admin) 7,481 #4 Posted 23 hours ago The baffle is the recycler or mulching attachment for the 42”. Stop by my house, I can give you one which is solid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
