JD 790 / 2005
Ok guys, I've got probably a dumb question. After I finished the yard and a little work along the fence line, I pulled the 790 onto the concrete to check it all out; raised the lx5 and noticed I could see just a sliver of daylight along one of the sides. Along the side between the sheet metal skirt and lower lip or skid on the bottom was about 1/32 or 1/64th of an inch clearance between the welds; just enough for a little light to get through. Is that a defect in the LX5 or just the way they are made. You've got 3 welds on each side maybe then it looks like the sheet metal just sits on the bottom skid between the welds; usually covered by the paint I suppose.
Has anyone noticed this slight clearance or is it supposed to be there?

I think its normal as they don't weld the entire seam.
