One major mod i recommend to all is to re-inforce the edges of the deck with some rod. It will give a deck 5 times the life.

You can see the rod welded into the lip of the cutter shell and it helps to keep the shell rigid and is a buffer against wear and flex that opens the edges to more wear and rust.
I'll face the bottom edges when they wear.
