ok i got it apart. The deck is bent no obvious cracks. I ordered the reinforcing plates for all 3 assemblies to try to prevent further damage. I tried to attach a picture but it is too big. 2 of the holes seem to be bent down and have wear around then from the spindle edges and 2 seem to be bent up. The difference is at least 3/16", maybe more. Any suggestions on carefully correcting this bend with some accuracy? I could just wail on it with a hammer but I might just make it worse. Help?

Okay, Full part number for CC is 703-07880-4021 Cub Cadet Yellow #2 and must order thru CC or MTD Parts, Powder Black version is 703-07880-0637.

For straightening hammer, punch, and flat piece of metal.
