RC glad you're happy with your new deck and the cut. Parts are real easy to get if and when you need them.

I've been using a KK RFM for the past 6 years and the only things bad about it that I've found was it came with a lousy paint job. Didn't matter though as I soon painted it New Holland Blue and foamed the pneumatic tires to prevent flat tires. I also kept losing the pins that hold the wheels and spacers in place, finally got smart and replaced them with common cotter pins. They don't fall off anymore.

It has held up well and we've been very happy with the cut.

That's a good ideal on the tire foam, I was worried about that but that will take care of it. When you say that you were losing the pin do you mean the lynch pins ? I'll have to keep an eye out for that. Thanks..........RC

I would be mowing and look back and only see 3 of the 4 tires. RATS! For some reason the lynch pins kept popping out and then I would loose the spacer set. They are $14.95 a set and I lost two sets before I wised up and tried the cotter pins. Cotter pins are real cheap compared to the spacer sets.

A spindle can only come loose when you raise the deck, it's impossible with the weight of the deck on the wheel assembly but just the same I would raise the deck to make a 180 degree turn and the tire assembly would drop off.

Did you guys get the rear discharge or side discharge? What are your likes or dislikes about either?
