Have you gone into a dealership and quizzed the parts boys?

 

Sure have. Unfortunately they weren't very helpful.

 

Which deck have you got? Around that time they started using the Accel Deep Deck but that wasn't always the case.

It's the 48 inch The Edge deck.

 

Deere used to have this GIANT BOOK of whole goods parts... It was like a 60's database... A salesman who is good will know what I'm talking about... We used to refer to this thing as the bible and Deere sent hard ack copies of the Bible to dealerships all the way up until 2006 when it went to electronic copies only... Have someone go into the whole goods database and look up the part number for a complete deck...

 

Hi all, thought I'd add an update in case someone else comes across this issue and needs a solution. I ordered the newer Accel Deep 48 inch complete deck along with the rectangular U shaped bolt (M172028) 2 X Swivel (UC25863) 4 X NUT (14M7275) 2 X Round square head bolts and nuts (03M7184) and 1 additional frame bumper bracket (GX25863). This frame bumper bracket is on the original model and is singular and located in the middle of the frame. I removed this and mounted the two of these brackets to the holes to each side of the middle. The only modification was I had to drill these two holes out so the bolt will fit through to mount the bracket to the frame. The rest of the deck mounts perfectly with the original hardware and can mow the lawns again. Hope this makes sense and prevents people from buying a new mower unnecessarily.

 

I have a z355e that I bought from an Uncle. One of the blades cuts lower than the other two. It’s an even cut that is about a half inch lower than the rest. I’ve put brand new blades on it and get the same result. It has new spindles and belts and all tires are aired correctly.
I’m thinking it could be a bent deck housing or what else Do you think
