this is a pic of the mower before starting assembly.

I then found a problem with the sprocket side drive mounting here

it doesn't show up real good in the picture but what it has done is that when the chain jumped a tooth an jammed it created enough load on the drive mounting to collapse the chassis 15mm or so in this area. I had to cut this section out straighten everything back out and carefully measure and weld back in that section of chassis. It looked like this

then I added up right supports in the chassis between its upper and lower section with 25mm by 5mm flat bar in an effort to over engineer this section of the chassis incase it ever happened again
