lt1500

I am looking for a mower deck for a craftsman LT1500 (mod# 247.288820) or a Troy bilt pony (as most part numbers are the same. I scraped a tree and tore one of the mounts through. I don't think it can be welded and frankly I'm tired of nursing this deck season to season. any ideas?

Model 247.288812 > the lights are supposed come ON when the tractor's engine is running & turn OFF when the ignition key is moved to the STOP position. Mine don't turn on. The fuse & blubs are good. Looking for recommendations. Thanks.
