Didn't know where to put this, but here goes..
Been working on a Husqvarna Lt100 and a LT112.
The LT100s deck is being welded as it rotted a litted bit, had the mower for a good 25 years plus and its the first deck repair, i forgot to clean her up last year and paint her like in previous years, i just got lazy... Also it doesnt help that i kept mowing with the deck in a poor state so in the end it shredded to bits and bent near the discharge..
The LT112 had a new engine rebuild, after fixing the back firing shes good as new, also the deck was painted, all new tyres and a oil change, which i dont think was ever changed as it was lumpy as hell.
Bits to add is a new seat but tell me what you think guys? Is it worth repairing the deck? Or should i just leave it as a tractor? I've got a sweeper, dethatcher and a roller for the yard, i just dont wanna waste my time if its gunna just rot again.

Cool! I was actually excited to see the name Husqvarna pop up here. I'm sure you know I've been working on stuff like that since I was 18, I'll bet my 86 Craftsman has a similar chassis setup since they were both built by Electrolux for the longest time.
It's hard to tell just how much damage there is to the deck from the pictures, but from what I can see it shouldn't be too much to maybe patch in a few new pieces of steel on the discharge side, the rest of it looks like surface rust and could probably be smoothed out with a grinder and some polycarbide discs.
I dunno, if it was me, having that 112 would leave little to encourage fixing the other deck. If you got nothing better to do then give it a try.

If you got nothing better to do then give it a try. yeah the backfiring took a while to fix if I’m honest, she’s sounded rough as hell but she was sat with no fuel in the tank for a good 3 years. So took a while for the fuel to bleed through the system. As for the deck it’s bent at the discharge. Anyway I could get the bend out or how? I’ve patched the holes and grinded the sharp edges down. I’m just stuck as the discharge is bent, I’ll try and get a better picture. |

I decided to do videos. The other deck is probably beyond repair. Lt112 was sold.. someone offered me a price I couldn’t refuse.
