Those sway arms fall off. You have to drill a hole on the end with the ears and use a washer and cotter pin. I have a 54” and I mow 2 rough acre’s every 4 days in the summer in Florida and it’s a long summer. I’m going on my 6th season. My fabricated deck is nearly like new. My sway arm came off though. Bent all up when I went in reverse. Had to get new one and modify it. One thing I don’t like is if build up gets caught under the front wheel guides it will plow a rut and dig up turf. I have to keep adjusting the deck height using the adjustment on the front of the deck.
I have a LGT 48 DLX and am looking for instructions on how to remove the Clear Cut mower deck from the tractor ..I thought that this video might show me how ..
Do U know what the Torque specs are for the bolts when replacing the blades, and are they normal lefty loosy, righty tighty? Thanks. I have the same machine, 3rd year and I take care of it and have none of the issues this one exhibits. Thanks. :)
The operator's manual says the blade bolts should be torqued to 45-55 ft lbs. Righty Tighty, lefty loosey is correct. This guy is hard on his equipment and he knows it. Thanks for watching.
That rod that was dangling off the backside of deck is the Anti-Sway bar...I think it helps keep the deck from moving side to side. I have same model as your mower and my anti sway bay came off at the same spot as yours...not a big deal to reinstall.
At the 2:30ish mark of the video you show a rod "that is supposed to be mounted up under the tractor". Does that rod serve any purpose and where does that loose end attach to?
I will. For the record, the owner of this tractor mows his grass a lot and very short. It takes him about 3 hours every time. He is not easy on his equipment. Your tractor will probably last longer than his. Thanks for watching.
@@RealManSkills that mower definitely looked like the owner mowed a dry creek bed! Yikes! It looked like it had fairly low hours too, but I couldn’t make it out
I saw that portion of the deck and thought it looked like a failure point. That section on the deck is just not heavy duty enough. I saw that and decided to keep looking for a mower. Your video confirms my original estimation that this is a design flaw.
It's unfortunate that a "fabricated" would have such a problem. It would certainly seem to be better the a "stamped" deck that is more common. Thanks for watching!
@@undergroundpatriot1714 Good luck. I bit the bullet and purchased a JD x350, 48". I wanted something heavy duty enough to get the job done and not fall apart. The JD x350 is holding up well after my second season.

That dudes hard on equipment, it's like he's been mowing graveyards, Head stones and all. Haha
And he admits it too! Thanks for watching.
I have never seen such hard abuse of a mover before to be honest it's probably ben used to clear minefields
I've seen that side to side rod broken often.Not a strong connection.
You can tell by the blades that he beats the snot out of it. Hits every rock and stump he can find....and then finds more.
That is the truth! Thanks for watching!
It’s ok, seeing these torture tests with your own eyes tells you the equipment can take a serious beating and keep on trucking.

That bar is off every time that I service this mower. I might have to engineer a way to keep it in place better. Thanks for watching!

The loose end of that rod goes into a hole on the frame of the tractor when you mount the deck. I think it helps stabilize the deck.
Can you show how you put that piece of metal back in place? The rod that goes somewhere from the deck to the lawnmower. 🙏
Sorry, that mower is not mine and I don't have it here at the moment.
Main did the same thing I bought a new and put it on. It did the same thing again I finally just leave it off. Don’t even know what’s gone.
I have bent two of those antisway bars ... both times in reverse ..
Mine scalps my lawn like crazy. Lowest setting on the wheels and still scalps like crazy.
Just throwing ideas out here - Is there a chance that a blade is bent or improperly installed?
@@RealManSkills no any slight hill or incline to scalps
@@KliqDon1983 I never have a problem with mind. I do keep my deck on 2.5 to 3 for most of the year.
So, where does that rod go????????????
It attaches to the bottom of the tractor.
good to know i have a mower the same. if you make any more videos on this tractor please post them

What the heck does that guy do to this mower. those are well made touch decks. I have had mine for 4 years and not one issue. WOW
Yeah, he's not gentle.
Probably cuz he's got rough Terrain
Inexpensive
That fabricated deck has a lifetime warranty from Husq, doesnt it?
Not from the abuse that the owner did to it. Thanks for watching.
@@RealManSkills that mower definitely looked like the owner mowed a dry creek bed! Yikes! It looked like it had fairly low hours too, but I couldn’t make it out
He has a big yard to mow but he isn't very gentle about it. He's already been asking me to tune it up for the season - it's only February!

I have the same problem. My decision to buy this brand is now regretted. I should have paid for the green paint.
@@dc6024 I wound up buying a JD X350 w/ 48A accel deep deck. Most likely my last mower.
I had this same exact problem and the flap came off. I'm going to try and warranty it because I've had the mower 1 season
