cleat 4,936 #2 Posted January 1, 2017 I made up a few rods just because I had time at work this weekend. I used the power pipe threader with a 3/8" thread die to cut the threads onto the rods. Cleat 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lynnmor 6,762 #4 Posted January 1, 2017 Wheel Horse upgraded the rod to a heavier material. They also have instructions for using the upgraded rod on older decks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cleat 4,936 #5 Posted January 1, 2017 My 60" deck has the 1/2" rod. The 3/8" seems to work OK for me on the 48" decks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
