not on a MZ magnum, but have seen plenty of it on the ZT's and a few ZT Elites.

Bad Boy will take care of you if you're still in warranty. Will it do it again? I dunno. How rough is your yard?

Big Dog Alpha has a problem that is breaking the hydro mounting brackets. They came out with a kit to fix the problem. If you could get the axle mounting brackets they are really heavy duty and you might be able to use them to fix your mower. They bolt on the frame.

Big Dog or Hustler dealer. Fits the BD Alpha and the Hustler Raptor. BD will be red and Hustler yellow. You will need the bracket out of the kit. It bolts to the frame with three bolts not two like came on the mower. Give me a day or two and I can look it up for you after the 4th.

Bracket parts no. 125286-2 is an L shaped bracket the bolts to the outside of frame with three bolts. Double plate part no.126964-2 bolts to the back side of the frame on the same bolts. Original bracket used two bolts with no back plate. New brackets are about twice as thick. You will have to look at them and see if this is something you can use. Good luck.
