Today, I picked up some 1/2" black pipe and cut some pieces to weld to the bottom edges of the deck to reinforce it. I decided to add a piece along the back too to help add reinforcement for the gauge wheel mounts and to make it match the front.

I introduced the deck to my sledge hammer and gave it a little "attitude adjustment" to get the front side back in line. It is now straight and ready to weld the pipe on.

Thanks again guys.

I ordered some spherical gauge wheels earlier and should have them Friday so I can start making mounts for them. Found the wheels on Amazon for $26 for 4 with free shipping. Lowe's wanted $48 and TSC was $64. Only difference is the ones I bought don't have the shoulder bolts but I should have some that will work.

Today, I tack welded the pipe pieces on and started making new gauge wheel mounts. I'm making them longer than the original mounts to keep them from bending the deck or tearing loose like the old ones did. They'll also be welded to the pipe for added strength.
