I noticed today that my KK 6' finish mower was cutting low on one side of the middle blade and high on the other. I thought I had bent a blade, but after taking the blade off saw that the blade was fine but the deck was bent. Apparently I hit something.
The deck is bent where the middle spindle attaches. There are 3 bolts that hold the spindle to the deck, and the deck is raised 1/4" where one of the bolts goes. Even though it is only a quarter of an inch, it makes the blade on one side close to an inch higher than the other blades, and an inch lower on the other side.
The deck on the mower is really thick so I'm sure I can not bend it back into place myself. Would a standard welding shop be able to bend it back or will I need to go to a shop that straightens automobile frames?
Or, anyone else have an idea to get it back into shape?
Thanks, Bob
