I have another one in the shop that is broken in the same area. Looks like pretty much a standard problem. This makes # 4 that I've seen with a broken rear mount. I've had 5 of them so we are running at an 80 percent failure rate. Luckily this one isn't to bad, short of it being rotted out because of grass trapped under the belt guards. Just my 2 cents but I like the older Haban's that had the diamond plate belt guards because you could clean then after mowing with a leaf blower, the later deck trapped grass. Last one I redid I didn't put the guards back on. My feet my problem, Duh turn the mower off first.
