I broke the tractor. Specifically, I lost a bolt which caused me to drag one of the mower deck link arms around for a while, bending it beyond repair.
So it had to be cut off. A new section gets fabricated (and this is a generous definition of fabrication BTW) from 3/16" plate and welded in place.
Seems to be holding up well. I did a lift test at the end of the video. Since then I finished mowing the property and the part is still intact.
