    Deck vibrates badly
    I have a 42" troy Bilt riding mower. I let someone use it a while back and now the deck vibrates very violent when blades are engaged. Could someone tell me something to check concerning this problem? Thanks a lot

    Bent blade, bent shaft. Take the blades off, inspect and try to balance.
    See the sticky at the top of the forum about blade sharpening and removal.
