its not a wheel horse. it's a toro z16-44. It's rated for 1-2 acres, but has many of the commercials components that residential mowers don't have. The deck is definitely not like the decks you can buy at lowes or HD.....but it still bent.

Better off leaving out in the sun than to use a propane torch.

No, a propane torch isn't nearly hot enough. As I said, you'll have to take it to a welding shop or someplace that has torches that are hot enough to heat a large area up to being "red hot" to reshape.

Don't waste your time or money with anything else.

That is not a commercial machine because I was looking for parts for that deck and you will NOT find parts for that
anywhere in the commercial section of ANY parts department, not unless they're humoring you, hence it is consumer grade.

It is labeled:
Toro Consumer 74501, Z16-44 TimeCutter Z Riding Mower, 2001

The cost on that deck is another story but if you needed parts, one could at least find them.

I am grinning too. I have looked at it 6 times wondering why we can't have a picture of 1/2 the mower. But oh well!

Yep, heat it up and pound it into submission.

Phooey on an acetylene/propane torch. Macgyver would do it with a match.

A match and a can of hair spray.
