Mower deck wheels and bracket on JD 318

[masher]

I need to replace all the wheels and brackets on the deck of my 50" 318. I can find the wheels and bolts but I really need to replace the metal bracket that the wheels bolt through and adjust the height of the mower deck. They are just a small piece of steel with holes in it with a pin to attach it to the mower deck. Mine are wore out and the wheels won;t bolt to them correctly. Any idea where I can get replacements?

Part not available through Deere? or looking for an alternative?

It looks like flat rolled steel that with some holes drilled will be like new.

I did just find them through Deere. Just wondering if there was any 'aftermarket'. Over $26 each at Deere! I need all 4 new.

Thanks

That is high, but making them shouldn't be hard to do... unless no drill press available.

Thats a good idea. Never thought of doing that for some reason.

Thanks
