I am having problems with my 56 inch deck. Originally I got this deck and mated it with a 23hp machine. The deck bashed itself to bits and they had to replace it under warranty. Turned out the spline for the PTO linkage needed to be replaced for this specific deck.
Fast forward 50 hours of use, I noticed that one of the height adjustment pins was missing. Seems to have sheered off at deck level and is gone. This is one of the two closest to the motor near the drive spline. On further investigation I see that the one on the other side has a crack in the same place down where it is welded to the deck, and it looks like it will fail soon.
I love this mower but I hate my local service agent - they have proven very unhelpful. Before I go and interract with them I am interested to understand if anyone else has had this problem ? Is this common ?
Many thanks
