The deck is covered but, was greased, blades spun, cleaned. Rusty, oh yeah it is.
No rust holes, just peeling paint.
This deck does have four greaseable and rotating wheels. Very heavy duty. Drive belts, PTO and deck look good but, will be new before I install the deck.
The deck manual says,
"Cub Cadet Corporation" of course, no mention of (yuk) MTD.
