My LT11 was made in 79...it had a 3-blade, rear discharge deck(1 small blade in the middle, up front...2 larger ones on the outside edges)..my deck was also in bad shape....I found a replacement...brand-new at a place called Glen's Surplus in Shelby, Ohio.....they charged me $99.95 and included all deck belts and a main drive belt....the deck was "NOT" a "FORD" deck, it was a GIBSON....it used only 2 blades and was still rear discharge. It required "NO" modifications at all...went together just like the old deck. I too am looking for another LT11 for parts...I need seat, front axle, and a transaxle...mine is hydrostat. Do yourself a favor....after going through about 6 briggs motors ranging in size from 11-12.5 HP...I finally found a Kohler 12.5 hp....it required a custom exaust manifold which I fabricated from a black plumbing street 90 and a peice of steel. and some pipe nipples....this engine has been absolutly trouble free for 4 years....the most I ever got out of a briggs was 2...leaking oil, smoking, etc. this kohler doesn't leak a drop, doesn't burn a drop and runs this mower better than when it was new. Let me know if anyone has parts or another tractor for sale....I love this mower! Thanks, Terry
