Those sway arms fall off. You have to drill a hole on the end with the ears and use a washer and cotter pin. I have a 54” and I mow 2 rough acre’s every 4 days in the summer in Florida and it’s a long summer. I’m going on my 6th season. My fabricated deck is nearly like new. My sway arm came off though. Bent all up when I went in reverse. Had to get new one and modify it. One thing I don’t like is if build up gets caught under the front wheel guides it will plow a rut and dig up turf. I have to keep adjusting the deck height using the adjustment on the front of the deck.
That rod that was dangling off the backside of deck is the Anti-Sway bar...I think it helps keep the deck from moving side to side. I have same model as your mower and my anti sway bay came off at the same spot as yours...not a big deal to reinstall.
I have a LGT 48 DLX and am looking for instructions on how to remove the Clear Cut mower deck from the tractor ..I thought that this video might show me how ..
Do U know what the Torque specs are for the bolts when replacing the blades, and are they normal lefty loosy, righty tighty? Thanks. I have the same machine, 3rd year and I take care of it and have none of the issues this one exhibits. Thanks. :)
The operator's manual says the blade bolts should be torqued to 45-55 ft lbs. Righty Tighty, lefty loosey is correct. This guy is hard on his equipment and he knows it. Thanks for watching.
I will. For the record, the owner of this tractor mows his grass a lot and very short. It takes him about 3 hours every time. He is not easy on his equipment. Your tractor will probably last longer than his. Thanks for watching.
At the 2:30ish mark of the video you show a rod "that is supposed to be mounted up under the tractor". Does that rod serve any purpose and where does that loose end attach to?
@@RealManSkills that mower definitely looked like the owner mowed a dry creek bed! Yikes! It looked like it had fairly low hours too, but I couldn’t make it out
I saw that portion of the deck and thought it looked like a failure point. That section on the deck is just not heavy duty enough. I saw that and decided to keep looking for a mower. Your video confirms my original estimation that this is a design flaw.
It's unfortunate that a "fabricated" would have such a problem. It would certainly seem to be better the a "stamped" deck that is more common. Thanks for watching!
@@undergroundpatriot1714 Good luck. I bit the bullet and purchased a JD x350, 48". I wanted something heavy duty enough to get the job done and not fall apart. The JD x350 is holding up well after my second season.
