That dudes hard on equipment, it's like he's been mowing graveyards, Head stones and all. Haha

[@RealManSkills]

And he admits it too! Thanks for watching.

[@sap3055]

I have never seen such hard abuse of a mover before to be honest it's probably ben used to clear minefields

[@samkaplitz9036]

I've seen that side to side rod broken often.Not a strong connection.

[@BC-vh2ik]

You can tell by the blades that he beats the snot out of it. Hits every rock and stump he can find....and then finds more.

[@RealManSkills]

That is the truth! Thanks for watching!

[@staticclay]

It’s ok, seeing these torture tests with your own eyes tells you the equipment can take a serious beating and keep on trucking.

[@anthonyfesta7010]

Those sway arms fall off. You have to drill a hole on the end with the ears and use a washer and cotter pin. I have a 54” and I mow 2 rough acre’s every 4 days in the summer in Florida and it’s a long summer. I’m going on my 6th season. My fabricated deck is nearly like new. My sway arm came off though. Bent all up when I went in reverse. Had to get new one and modify it. One thing I don’t like is if build up gets caught under the front wheel guides it will plow a rut and dig up turf. I have to keep adjusting the deck height using the adjustment on the front of the deck.

[@staticclay]

That rod that was dangling off the backside of deck is the Anti-Sway bar...I think it helps keep the deck from moving side to side. I have same model as your mower and my anti sway bay came off at the same spot as yours...not a big deal to reinstall.

[@RealManSkills]

That bar is off every time that I service this mower. I might have to engineer a way to keep it in place better. Thanks for watching!

[@Michael_Ellicott]

I have bent two of those antisway bars ... both times in reverse ..

[@CarlosRodriguez-en5zk]

Can you show how you put that piece of metal back in place? The rod that goes somewhere from the deck to the lawnmower. 🙏

[@RealManSkills]

Sorry, that mower is not mine and I don't have it here at the moment.

[@rdsmith1611]

Main did the same thing I bought a new and put it on. It did the same thing again I finally just leave it off. Don’t even know what’s gone.

[@francislang5075]

good to know i have a mower the same. if you make any more videos on this tractor please post them

[@RealManSkills]

I will. For the record, the owner of this tractor mows his grass a lot and very short. It takes him about 3 hours every time. He is not easy on his equipment. Your tractor will probably last longer than his. Thanks for watching.

[@geraldstebe5511]

I have a LGT 48 DLX and am looking for instructions on how to remove the Clear Cut mower deck from the tractor ..I thought that this video might show me how ..

[@Jay_Hall]

Do U know what the Torque specs are for the bolts when replacing the blades, and are they normal lefty loosy, righty tighty? Thanks. I have the same machine, 3rd year and I take care of it and have none of the issues this one exhibits. Thanks. :)

[@RealManSkills]

The operator's manual says the blade bolts should be torqued to 45-55 ft lbs. Righty Tighty, lefty loosey is correct. This guy is hard on his equipment and he knows it. Thanks for watching.

[@timothylanders3189]

So, where does that rod go????????????

[@RealManSkills]

It attaches to the bottom of the tractor.

[@KliqDon1983]

Mine scalps my lawn like crazy. Lowest setting on the wheels and still scalps like crazy.

[@RealManSkills]

Just throwing ideas out here - Is there a chance that a blade is bent or improperly installed?

[@KliqDon1983]

@@RealManSkills no any slight hill or incline to scalps

[@saliston]

@@KliqDon1983 I never have a problem with mind. I do keep my deck on 2.5 to 3 for most of the year.

[@hollypalumbo6334]

At the 2:30ish mark of the video you show a rod "that is supposed to be mounted up under the tractor". Does that rod serve any purpose and where does that loose end attach to?

[@RealManSkills]

The loose end of that rod goes into a hole on the frame of the tractor when you mount the deck. I think it helps stabilize the deck.

[@saliston]

What the heck does that guy do to this mower. those are well made touch decks. I have had mine for 4 years and not one issue. WOW

[@RealManSkills]

Yeah, he's not gentle.

[@jamesthompson7702]

Probably cuz he's got rough Terrain

[@markhansen8078]

I saw that portion of the deck and thought it looked like a failure point. That section on the deck is just not heavy duty enough. I saw that and decided to keep looking for a mower. Your video confirms my original estimation that this is a design flaw.

[@RealManSkills]

It's unfortunate that a "fabricated" would have such a problem. It would certainly seem to be better the a "stamped" deck that is more common. Thanks for watching!

[@dc6024]

I have the same problem. My decision to buy this brand is now regretted. I should have paid for the green paint.

[@markhansen8078]

@@dc6024 I wound up buying a JD X350 w/ 48A accel deep deck. Most likely my last mower.

[@undergroundpatriot1714]

I had this same exact problem and the flap came off. I'm going to try and warranty it because I've had the mower 1 season

[@markhansen8078]

@@undergroundpatriot1714 Good luck. I bit the bullet and purchased a JD x350, 48". I wanted something heavy duty enough to get the job done and not fall apart. The JD x350 is holding up well after my second season.

[@TheScubacamper]

That fabricated deck has a lifetime warranty from Husq, doesnt it?

[@RealManSkills]

Not from the abuse that the owner did to it. Thanks for watching.

[@TheScubacamper]

@@RealManSkills that mower definitely looked like the owner mowed a dry creek bed! Yikes! It looked like it had fairly low hours too, but I couldn’t make it out

[@RealManSkills]

He has a big yard to mow but he isn't very gentle about it. He's already been asking me to tune it up for the season - it's only February!
