Bought this deck (pretty cheap) this winter. PO used it on his 317, said he had 3-4 seasons on new spindle bearings and a couple pulleys and 1 season on the blades. Mule and belt covers not pictured. The mule needs some attention.

removed everything,

and spent 2 hrs with a twisted wire cup and angle grinder cleaning the under side. (forgot to take pic) Then primed and put 2 coats of graphite paint on it.

Also striped the top side and primed.

The deck has some pitting but should work fine mowing out back around my pines.

Fine job on your mower deck repairs. I sure can relate to the amount of work involved. I had to do a total rebuild and restoration on my model 38 brass tag deck for my '66 110 RF, it took quite a while. I'll see if I can get some photos of the process posted soon. You'll be in great shape for the upcoming mowing season.
