I've had the deck off, changed blades, spindles, belt, oil changes. Think it's going to need some steering work next, couple joints (cue ?). Also gonna need new rubber next season. When I told them I had ripped some of the baffles out of the deck (finding rocks/roots) I priced the deck, about a grand. They wanted to upgrade me into the X series but that has the same crappy non accessible grease fittings, engineers didn't address it on new model.
