Hi
This is my first post here. I was recently given an old Yardman 42" 13an791g755 lawn mower. I think its a 2005 model. One of the mounts on the deck is cracked so bad that its hanging too low to the ground. I tried taking off the deck and whacking it straight. Then fastening brackets to hold it up. It helped. But not good enough. I would say a good welder could make it good. But my eyes won't let me weld anymore. And I am thinking this rusty deck just aint worth paying money to fix it.
So. I am looking for an inexpensive solution to this problem. The mower is in real good shape for what it is. I like my CC better. lol. But this mower cuts darn good. So i wanna save its life. A new deck would do it wonders considering how rough it is on my property. But, I don't want to end up paying $200+ on the official part. I have seen some cheaper decks out there that simply say "Yardman 42" deck". But have no idea if it would fit and work. Does anyone have any idea what decks may be a drop in replacement on this mower?
Thanks much
