It's not a bad idea: You can buy the brackets that will support a wheel
on Ebay and I think the original decks were designed for this. For some reason
though they went with the bar.
When going up a good hill I tend to lift the deck so it is just barely off
the ground. That puts a lot more weight on the nose of the tractor and it
steers better.

Hello again,
On my maiden voyage with the E15 last night I saw a few maintenance issues
and a design issue I want to try to address.
When I try to turn hard on a slope, perhaps the grass is a little slippery
- and it understeers.
No sweat, I can imagine once I have my lift back together with a new
strap, I can lift the deck a little and get my steering back.
However the ends of the roller rod has these brackets that scrape the
ground and they are surely part of the reason the tractor is not steering
well.
Has anyone put rear deck wheels on these front mowers? I recall a Sears
(MTD) lawn tractor I once owned had deck wheels that had rounded edges
that could be adapted to fit this deck I think.
Surely this has been addressed already but I did not check the archives.
Looking forward to your wisdoms.
Thanks,
Chris in Tennessee
