That's the thing that caught my eye. Everything looks correct except that. I even Googled that model number with no results.
Also, that looks like a model 383 deck, and if it is, it shouldn't have the shroud around the blades. That shroud is welded on, but they came bolted on from the factory. Unless something changed I'm not aware of.... I've seen my fair share of these triangle decks and none are like this one.
