Picked up this mower deck this morning Not sure what year it might be

[The Tuul Crib 7,336]

Drove about an hour west of here to pick this up this morning. It has two rust holes in the normal spots. Somebody  has done some repairs along the way but all in all the deck is pretty solid. Seems to be the older style 48 inch but there are no serial numbers to be found. Looks possible to be maybe early 70s or late 60s?

the tuul crib, in addition to the patch work needed , take advantage of that clean solid bottom , and after a thorough drying , spray oil penetrating oil on it and a hot sun drying / feeding the metal . do that a number of times to prevent rot and stop corrosion . after oil soaking, leave in sun upside down so the deck gets hot and draws in the oil lubricant. been doing that for years , no rot, pete
