    Sorry to say, that's not a zero turn deck, that is off of a Cub Cadet LT1050, same shell, but this one is designed for a forward mounted engine, Zero Turn is rear engine. besides, the zero turn doesn't have the front wheel where the deck connects to the mower. I made this mistake, and I'm gonna have to weld the attachments off my old deck to retrofit the new one. The back latches are further apart on the RZT, and there is a pulley bracket mount that rests in between the two latches that pulley is the last pulley to touch the belt before it hits the motor/

    Question-What tools did/do you run that others had a hard time keeping up with but this one keeps up well? I ask because my little 3.6 SCFM 19 gallon has always struggled with many of my air tools but worked well until lately for painting cars. Since it's about worn out, I'm thinking of buying this 5.1 SCFM instead of the lower cost 21 gallon 4.0 SCFM in hopes that I may actually be able to run some of the heavy consumption tools at least a little better. It would be nice to be able to cut a small piece of metal or buff away gaskets without having to wait too many times for the tank to fill up.

    Good video. So sad to see people spend money on a new deck or worse yet, ditch the whole mower when a few repairs/ mods will give years more of service out of the mower. Had to do the same last couple of weeks on two Husqvarna 46" decks, plus 1bent scalper wheel bracket. Another weak spot on these mowers is the front leading edge of the deck. There is a small tab, front center, that I believe is for attaching a grass catcher. It has a tendency to dig into high spots in the lawn and over time bends the leading edge inward, often to the point of hitting the blade tips. After straightening the leading edge back out, I bent the tab up, more out of the way, instead of removing it (might need to use it one day). There is also a round support bar that goes only "half way" across the front of the leading edge for support. I am welding a 1/2" x 3' (appx) pipe bent to shape from the end of the original across the front. I am also welding the ends to the scalper wheel brackets for more support. If yours is like that, maybe you could do a video on that mod for others to see.

      This was just a customer's deck. Everything else looked good at the moment. I'll keep that in mind though. I also did another deck that I did a video on. Cub Cadet that time. Those seem to be weak around the spindles and like to rust there. Like you said, a little work and you can get decks to last longer. Saves money. Thanks for the comments.
