Sorry my picture was not labeled. See if this makes more sense? . . .

Yes make sure you have both of these braces and that the lower one is the upgraded version. That will stop all the flexing which is causing your problems. I also had a broken fender from this but did not know these braces were the problem. . . .

If you are interested there are actually 2 braces you can add. I have both on my SD54 mower. Very rigid now! . . .

Yes I thought the whole letter thing as awkward and not useful. But here is a chart I got. I also put a white paint make on the letter I use so I can quickly put things back to normal. Sorry for the small size. Again poor forum software. . . .

Do you know about the 2nd brace? I upgraded the lower brace after mine broke and cracked my plastic fender. The 2nd one mounts up higher and provides additional bracing 165 hours so far. . . .

I got the factory kit and followed the install directions. Here is what it looks like installed. . . .

Yes here is the factory deck mod I was talking about without the added reinforcing bracket. You can see the holes drilled where it bolts to. They added a angle iron bracket but some people just cut it out and forget the added bracket.. The deck is very stout. The factory kit for my SD54" was...
