Deck gauge wheel mounts
 

These are mounts I made for my 48" deck to mount spherical gauge wheels on all 4 corners.

Both rear mounts are the same.

Those look very professional! Good job!

Very nice job:beerchug:

Thanks guys. I've only mowed once with the deck but they work great.

Good job on those beefier and better load bearing brackets.
And I like the welded up end of the deck too.

Is that a replicated deck shell?
Or did you just save an O.E.M. deck shell?

It is an original shell. I had to repair a couple spots but it was otherwise in great condition.

Great job Adam...I was just wondering why the two front brackets are different measurements? Is this done for clearance purposes? I have a template made for the back two. I will be getting the deck torn down for a restore here as soon as my dozer blade is done then I can focus on the deck as it needs some long overdue TLC!!!

Unless I missed it, how thick is the steel plate? 1/4"?

Nice professional-looking job! Glad they're working out for you.

I looked back thru the original post and yes it is 1/4" plate

I suspect the different front brackets are to accommodate the height growth of the deck because of the outlet.
And end up with the gage wheels in the same hole from the ground.
