My mower is a year old and the deck rod was bent and came off. There is a mower repair shop in our town that was going to charge 98 dollars for just the rod. I got out my mower book saw the parts I needed (4total). ..cost 34 dollars including shipping. Repair took a half hr, hardest part making sure deck was even. Your website was thoro ugh. I was looking for the rod, but you had different pics of what was needed for the job. Stuff I didn\'t even think about. Made the job easier. THANKS!

The deck lift arm suffered Owner maintenance neglect, so one day, while mowing, it fell off, got lost, and the front end of the deck dropped to low and started plowing dirt.

After I received the parts, one day a friend, younger than myself, came by as I was having a cup of coffee. I told him what I was looking to do and he took tools in hand and repaired the mower in 15 minutes. Never underestimate what an old man and a cup of coffee can accomplish.
