Re: (ET) Bad deck issues

That could explain it. Both of my decks over the years have been on AA 
models, had thin motors (since replaced with fat, more reliable by far) 
and did not have the stamped pattern around the motors themselves. One 
had the welded on angle irons, but both rusted over the years even with 
POR15 paint.

I'll look for one of those.
