I have a 50C deck I'm considering restoring but thought I'd ask some folks who have already done this if they think it's worth the effort and expense. The spindles turn easily and took grease. They don't feel rough. The deck has set outside for years and I'm amazed that it's still as good as it is. There are two po repairs, two holes that will get bigger when it's blasted, and the flange that the hgt. adjusters mount on is bent as you can see in the pictures. Also can I replace the large headed bolt on the belt tensioner with a regular bolt and large washer without an issue? What do you think? Is it worth it?
