Any resolution? One of mine seems to be bent as well but it cuts okay.

I could have a bad memory but somehow I think I remember reading that there was a brace across the top of the deck that was installed after the initial runs of the first model year? The purpose of the brace was to stiffen up the deck.

I'd love to see a picture of this so the rest of us can monitor our machines.

I second that-
I am not a mechanic but a good sharp photo would help

I seen on the hustler specs that the deck is 11ga with 7ga spindle reenforced

Is the 7 gauge reinforcement like a steel plate?
Is it on top of or under the deck?

Thanks

If I remember right on my old Raptor it was not a steel plate...... it was on top of the deck...might have been black in color.
