Thanks for the reply. No where on the deck does it say magnesium. It doesn't even have "Place foot here when starting". Everything I've read says it should be mag but I cannot find the word in the casting. We've got a metal analyzer at work I'll check it with.

I am trying to restore a 24 inch Lawn Boy that has been in the family since 1965. Does anyone know if the deck is Al or mag? Also any suggestion on where to get parts other than ebay? A short block, P/N 678271 would be really handy! Thanks
