JUST BOUGHT A USED T1600 AND HAVE A VERY LOUD NOISE FROM THE MOWER OR MOWER GEAR BOX. HAVENT BEEN ABLE TO ISOLATE YET. ALSO SEE A BRACKET ON THE FRONT OF THE FRAME THAT APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN BROKEN (FRESH METAL BREAK) NEED SOME PHOTOS OR DIAGRAMS, AND HOW TO CHECK LUB IN THE MOWER GEAR BOX

You have to remove the deck to check oil. have you a repair manual? I bought the shop manual but had to the deck from Messick's online.
