Ahhhh, the old bent bar syndrome.  Someone hit something, perhaps a stump. 
 It IS possible to straighten it in a press.  

The angle iron is light 1" stock.  Let me take a picture and send it.  One 
can also brace the lift arms to the angle as they pull through pretty 
often.

How 'bout some really basic stuff?  I'm asking regarding my E12M but 
maybe applicable to others?

1.  Should the bar that the rollers are on be straight?  Mine is bowed 
in at least 2 directions.  :-)

2.  When mowing, are the rollers supposed to be actually on the ground, 
or barely above it?

3.  I've read about welding a piece of angle iron to the top  of the 
deck to make it more rigid.  Can you direct me to a picture of this?

Thanks.
Thon
