    just throwin' this out there....has anybody had the underside of a deck sprayed with linex bed liner? i'm thinking about tryin' it on the 42 incher i rebuilt last year....maybe 1/16 inch or so to keep from rusting. probably would make clean up a lot easier too. interested in your thoughts

    morning ed, here's what i made up for my 109 a few years ago. 1/2 inch threaded rod with clevis rod ends from macmaster carr(pn 1583K61). no problems but i may slip a piece of pipe over it as it looks like i have a slight tweek on one end but it still works fine.

    it's been a while so i just wanted to get an update on the rebuilt 42 inch i did for my 109. after i got it together and tested, and the factory settings for level, it took a bit of do-dickin' around to get everything set to where i was satisfied. so far, i'm satisfied....

    yeah jim i had it at about 3/4 throttle. just for a bit tho. rpm is set where it should be and i mow at full throttle but eased into it for the initial startup on the rebuilt deck. i left the pulleys as i only wanted what is seen to look decent...and i think it does....
