Hustler SD Raptor 60" Rear deck mounts

[cec5505]

I saw a 2018 model and saw Hustler had made a change. They put groves and clips on each end of the support rod to keep the rod from falling though the tabs so easy with the smooth rod. I ordered two rods (HUSTLER 118018 - PIVOT, DECK LIFT) of the new type and four clips (HUSTLER 791673 - CLIP E,.625x.480x.042 Z) and I hope that will take care of the problem.

I took this pic of a RSD60 at Lowes yesterday:

That's the new fix. I have ordered two for the back mounts but they are on back order I guess they have not been able to keep up with demand. They are cheap ($1.50 for the deck lifts and $0.50 for the clips) from Hustle Mower Parts. They fit all years of Hustler SDs .
