The front mower deck is in and the wheel and front bracket hits the blade. I've bent out so many times its broke off. I have 3 options that I see. First, scrap it, but I hate to do that bc otherwise it's fine. Second, cut the broken and bent beyond repair section out and weld a straight piece of flat iron horizontally along the front from one side to the other. Lastly, replace the mower deck.. Anyone have suggestions?
