Does anyone know how GE originally attached the mower deck support arms to

will be no side to side movement.  Is this what they rest of you have used

hi barry, do you have the large bracket that attaches to the tractor and 
prevents the deck from wondering?  its about 18" wide, u shaped, and goes 
into the stabber slots on front of tractor.   the mower arms can go up and 
down along sides of this bracket, but cant go sideways.  
     re pins, yes there are special pins that hold the mower arms to the 
traactor.  this connection  has play in it.   its the bracket that 
prevents 
deck wandering.  good luck, jon k
