I have an old 18" Eatons TecoMaster gas mower. The original deck was replaced because the deck had big rust holes on it. I found the very same kind of deck, only it was made for an electric lawnmower and the shaft hole was too small, so I cut out a larger hole and three new holes for the engine bolts. So now the engine is tightly bolted onto the deck, but What I'm worried about is, with the vibrations of the gas engine, will this weaken the deck and eventually crack it?
