It happened on ours last year, but we are pretty rough on our mower with my wife frequently forgetting to raise the deck. My son welded it back on; better than new.
I suspect a bad weld as we never had any problems with our BX2200 and I was rougher on it than my wife is on our 2660 and the 2200 is still trouble free.

I didn't even bother painting mine, it will just make the rest of the deck look bad/worse.
Yep........
I took one off my M60 Tank early this summer and haven't replaced it as of yet. Cuts fine without. I need new gage wheels anyway. They wobble around on the axles like a drunken sailor between bars......

What type of welder did he use? I have a mid grade Hobart Mig with gas....I know it works great for exhaust work.

My Hobart 210 would do it but if you have a 110 volt mid range, I'd go to a SMAW unit with 7018LH rod. Nothing beats a dc stick welder for implement repairs.

I honestly don't know, we have MIG and stick. He is a very good welder; me not so much. I took classes in VoAg MANY years ago and was pretty good then, but now...
