Sep 5, 2009 / 425 mower deck help - bracket holes are oblong #1 L labsrus Bronze Member Joined Mar 28, 2009 Messages 71 Our mower deck on the 425 JD is getting very lose. The bracket holes on the mower deck, are getting a little oblong. Has anyone ever tried to put any type of bushing in the bracket holes, or have any other things they did? Thanks for any help.

(1) Drill linkage hole to next larger pin size dia. Replace w/new larger dia. pins. (2) (A)Weld close the worn linkage hole. Drill/ream to OEM pin dia. (B)Weld steel plate/bushing to side of worn linkage and drill OEM pin dia. Option (1) is the quick shortcut type repair. Hope this helps.
