Trotter,
I think a few of these guys are hitting on the point....it's a bush hog and not a rockhog /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif. I have lots of rocks on my place and they seem to reproduce every few months and every few months I find myself climbing off the tractor and removing them. It's aggravating but that's part of it. I've accidentally hit some and had to go back to the barn and resharpen. I imagine if I hit them and they were really embedded, it's possible I could cause damage as severe as yours. If you have a FEL, someone mentioned you can use it as an "early warning device". That's a good idea as long as your speeds are reasonably slow...which they should be if your hitting many rocks.

Blades denting the housing is usually a sign that you are not running the PTO at 540rpm. After denting the housing, the blades will then pierce the deck, pin or no pin. Check that you have the right shear pin and it's not a solid bolt.
