OK , Larry J , here are some pictures

I'll tell ya, I'd be looking for something a little better to spend
my time on!!!! I wouldn't waste ten minutes fixing that one - If I
couldn't find the proper JD deck to fit I'd spend the time adapting
something from another tractor that still had paint on it. 4 words.
Silk purse Sow's ear.

My thoughts, exactly, but I'd likely have done the same thing..
When one has more time than money, it's easier to justify fixing
what's broken.
Doen't make any sense to pour time and money into something that
doesn't stand a chance in H E Double L of ever standing up. Better to
start from scratch, even wiith a couple ends from a 45 gallon drum..
Any time or money spent on that deck is just urinating into the wind.

Clare , you seem to think I'd waste my time on a worthless project . I
thought you knew me better ... now go look at the photos I posted this
afternoon and get back to me on that waste of time and money thing . That
deck is almost ready to sandblast and paint .

No reason to sandblast if you use POR-15. Paint will look like **** on a badly pitted surface. POR-15 can even be sanded smooth.
