conehead 14 #1 Posted August 24 Good afternoon, Wheel Horse Wizards. I have acquired a 42" rear discharge deck that needs some TLC. There are no labels/identification to be found. Clearly some work needs to be done to return this deck to working order. Any information you can glean from the photos would be very much appreciated.
