My 782 came with what I am guessing to be a 44c mower deck. I am guessing 44c because it has the smaller speed up pulley. It did not have the pulley cover and I found one on eBay and have it painted and ready to go. When I put it on it seems to be rubbing or binding one of the pulleys. What I discovered is the deck has a secondary plate on the top of the deck. It is sandwiched in place by the mounting of the deck spindles. My question is if this is standard. If I were to remove it and put the spindles back without it, it might provide enough clearance for the cover. I suspect it it is there for additional rigidity and strength.
