The front of mine is busted, have not checked the rest.
Was going to pull the motor off it next week and put it on the Victa.
I will check the deck out a bit better and get back to you.
Has your deck got the guide hoops on either end still. I would say if they are missing that will not help the front wall.
I will price up a sheet of steel. Hardest thing of scratch building one is keeping it flat when welding stuff on it. Warpage will wreck it.
Cheers, Bob.
