[QUOTE="flyerdan, post: 91914, member: 2510"] The idea of reinforcing is to give the mounting pad a bigger footprint so that stress cracks won't develop, probably 3/16 plate would be sufficient, and if welded to the inside of the deck wouldn't effect the blade height in relation to the deck. There should be sufficient clearance for that, or it would be getting bound up by debris all the time. One thing to consider on a hydraulic drive is that large rotating masses don't lend themselves to sudden stops when you shut off the aux, it really needs some run-on plumbing so that it won't tear something up.
