I know my wife shouldn't use the zero turn like a bush hog, but she does, and that isn't going to change.
Occasionally the inner deck baffle gets bent and the blades hit it, so I jack up the deck, get on a creeper and beat it back into a reasonable shape with a 4lb sledge hammer since that's all the room I have under there.
I'm getting older, and it's starting to kick my ass. Is there a power/air option that might help me out? I've never used an air hammer, would that work?
Any other options?

Air hammer? no.
Probably best for you go to a lighter hammer.

Pipe wrench with handle extension pipe. But, you'll only get to 're-configure' it a few times until it leaves home. Why not just raise the deck height a notch so it doesn't get caught on the WELL COVER again ???

Porta-power with lots of extensions and heads will be your friend.
