RE: (ET) Deck mount broke

["Elie, Larry (L.D.)" <lelie ford com>]

If you don't already have some 1" angle iron welded on the top of the deck
for reinforcement, 
add some.  I added blocks from the front of the arm mounts to the angle to
spread out the 
force more as well.  You almost certainly broke the baffle loose underneath
too; re-attach it 
at the same time.  While you have a torch out is a good time to cut off
rusty 1/4"-20 bolts 
and replace with stainless hardware.  Clean off the grass a bit so it won't
start a fire.

Well, the mounting point on my E15's front mower deck broke off
yesterday.  I suppose the fix is to have a new attachment point welded on
- presumably some reinforcement would be good as well - does anyone have
any tips on how to get the job done right?

thanks,
