Re: (ET) Historic (or prototype) deck styles?

[Pieter <pvcl plitch com>]

Thanks for the link - neat stuff.  I have two tractors and two 
decks.  Both are the "standard" 3 motor 3 blade decks, but one has 
very short motors - I was told that these motors were meant to be 
used on the belly mounted mowers.  In addition, one deck has bent 
sheet metal brackets for the casters, the other has cast brackets for 
the casters.  Otherwise they are identical rear discharge units.
