Is there a known issue with the deck mounting design on these mowers? My dad has one of these mowers. He loves it - but the deck "falls off" often. There is a long solid bar that supports the deck and appears to be the center point for leveling. It is held in place with a "hanger" attacheched to the body/frame. If looks like it is made to "fall off" if the deck gets bumped too hard against trees, landscaping timbers etc..
I am not suggesting dad hasn't bumper into stuff trying to cut too close. But lately it falls out of place 10 minutes into every mowing session - and it only takes minutes to put it back in place.
It seems to me that the spacer and mounting bracket needs to be 3/8 to 1/2 inch thicker. I've looked and do not see any bent linkage or losse and missing parts.
Thanks in advance,
