Well, after only 15 hours, my MMM deck suffered its first, (hopefully only) failure. Its interesting that while I was mowing, my wife said, "Boy that don't sound right", (just what I need to hear from her!). I continued mowing and saw that the bolt for the belt cover had backed out about halfway. So I tightened it up and put things away. This weekend when I went out to cut grass, I heard the same noise again. I checked and rechecked the bolt for the cover. Finally after making about my 2nd pass, I took the cover off and ran it just to get rid of the noise. It continued to be noisy that is when I looked down at it. It seems that the pulley for the right-hand blade broke loose of the shaft. It almost looks as though the weld wasn't too good. Anyone suffer the same kind of failure? I don't know who makes the mower decks for Bobcat. They seem extremely heavy duty, but this episode doesn't instill me with a lot of confidence.
