clubairth,
Remember, the manufacturer was responding to the complaints about the enforcement bar causing clumps. Sometimes one can't see the forest for the trees. In direct correspondence along with them contacting me to discuss my observations, the 2019 deck is different. I've asked to be appraised of the changes thru photos considering the Excel Industries Rep claims they are adopting several of my improvements.
My point: They made an over the deck enforcement bar to keep the deck front out of the blade tip. The engineers weren't told to find a safety solution, they were told to find a collapse solution.
That does nothing to retain any objects from entering the deck cavity. What is it that resides within the deck in all working mowers? A rotating blade that will disengage a piece of meat, ligaments, tendons, nerves, veins, arteries, bone from other parts of the same in less than a thousandth of second.
Shame safety wasn't considered first.
If you know someone that has removed their enforcement bar, do your due diligence and suggest they take a cutter or grinder, cut off the enforcement bar in about two thirds from the top front to back, then weld it back into place. They may just save a family members foot or their kids favorite stuffed animal.

Thank you for the post with pictures! I believe that answered my question, looks like you cut and drill for the installation.

I have sen this thread previously. Very nice job and the video was very helpful also. Thanks, I will wait until spring and see how the wet grass does with this thing and then decide what to do about it if needed.

Va Duc,
I'd doubt seriously that you will actually need to do anything to your deck unless it is making sure it is perfectly level side to side and front to back. Unless you are mowing commercially, you can probably wait until late in the day to mow when the grass is dry. If so, do that. The mower will perform well.
Regardless which method you choose to go with, good luck Sir.
