OOOPPS. I also forgot to mention that they are all metal. The

on higher priced john deere and such have plastic hoods. Go
figure, pay less for better construction!

I'd take a fiberglass mowing deck over a steel unit, no corrosion.

I've never seen a fiberglass mowing deck - but I don't think that is
what
he is refering to. I think he meant steel vs fiberglass HOOD.

I know THAT, I'm just saying plastic is not always inferior to steel
as a construction material.

You've never seen one because it would last too long.

Nice try at saving face, but no cigar.

Not that it makes much difference - but I don't think he means
"fiberglass". I think he means one of the stronger plastics. There are
some pretty strong but they won't resist fatigue like steel will.

They make frames out of it for bigger machines than lawn tractors.
