Caroni mower

Welcome aboard and congrats! I've been using Caroni RFM's since around 1992. I bought one new 5' side discharge then and used it with the Ford ever since, and more recently one very used 5' side discharge. After 20-some years of abuse and frequent outside storage I made one good one from the two.
About 6 years ago I bought a 7-1/2' rear discharge Caroni and refurbed it to use with my current Kubota. One of these days I'd like to get one of their new beefier 93" decks. Until recently the gauge wheels on all models used the same 1" shaft. The new 93" have heavier shafts. I bent a few gauge wheel stems swinging the deck into a pavement.
I've had two new LandPride RFM's - a 5' side discharge with a new B7500 in 2002 and 6' rear discharge for a new L3200 in 2012.. They were fine decks but heavier than the Caronis in similar widths. The gauge wheel stems on them used the same 1" stem size.
