Re: (ET) Mower deck questions

Well I don't know about you guys, but I can't even see the middle motor up 
front unless maybe I stood up while mowing.  The LED idea sounds promising, 
but you'd probably have to feed three fiber optic leads back to the dash 
area.  Or maybe put the three lights on poles, each about two foot high, so 
you could easily see them from the seat.

Or do like I have done in the past, look around behind ya once in a while 
and see if there is strip of unmowed grass that shouldn't be there.
