prd, one thing that didn't impress me on the 5XL was the cutter height adjustment, never really figured it out, the one I repaired was in a pretty bad state when I got it. It seemed like an abomination so I modified it so the deck could be raised and lowered without using the rear deck wheels as part of the raising and lowering. From what I could see of it, Theo must have been overseas when the design was slipped into production. The Stallion was a better machine apart from the gearbox/no brake setup
