>From my experience, the decks out in the bush are usually pretty beat,
bent,
and cracked. They can be repaired to some extent - just takes time and teh
right equipment. The motors also get used hard - like hitting rocks etc
which can bend the shaft, although I guess at least one member has
successfully straightened these?
In the short term I worry about expendable items like mower blades. I seem
to recall someone found a mulcher blade that fit, but I think that adds
more
stress on the motor.
One of us has a list of existing ETs - forget the address right off.
