ZD21 vs ZD321

Actually, I started another thread where I did just that. I added a couple of bolts in the top so I don't have to remove the ones under the deck. Yeah, getting the deck off the first time is the pain. I took the brake pedal off.
Removing the mower and just greasing it is going to be so much easier this year. I can't believe I didn't do this before.

Can you post a photo of your new hatch? Did you add any supports in the floor plate to account for the loss of strength from the hole in the floor?

Here's a link to the other thread with picture of the underside of the deck showing the cut:http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/lawn-garden/95887-zd28-maintenance-hatch.html
I don't figure I did anything to weaken the deck, so no I didn't add any supports.
Here's a pic of the deck after I put it back on. I have since drilled a couple holes in the deck and tapped the frame and now put two bolts in near the rear of the deck so I don't have to bother removing the bolts under the deck which hold it and the fender to the frame, like just in front of the cupholder.

I used to know how to make pics show up in my posts, but can't do it now.

I went from the ZG20 to the ZD326p. Dealer didn't even show the ZD21 to me. But the 326 is just loaded with tons of features that were "missing" on the ZG. Once she had gone through all the improvements, I just asked her where do I sign?
