Overall cheaply built. Stamped Steel foot platforms. A 'Drive-On' Mower Deck that you cannot drive onto without using ramps, and blocking the deck up against something so that it will not slide forward. See photo. Just NOT the quality that I saw in my old 445 JD. I tried to attach a photo, but couldn't get it to work...........email address, and I'll send direct if you want to see photo.
