This won't buff out! HAMMER TIME!

What happens here

With the kickstand straightened and the structural integrity of the mower deck restored, the farmer reattaches the rubber guard. He aligns the guard with the pre-drilled holes and secures it using an impact driver to fasten multiple bolts along its length. Once the guard is in place, he proceeds to fully reassemble the drive system, installing the new drive pulley and rerouting the belt according to the diagram he noted earlier. He uses a tool to push the tensioner arm, allowing him to properly seat the belt and adjust its tension.

Goal: Reassemble the mower deck components, including the new pulley and belt.
