JD quotes the MX5 tip speed at 14,347 fps. The 60"KK is under 12,000(PTO RPM 540 x gearbox ratio 1.47 x cutting diameter 57" x pi 3.14 / 12" per foot = 11,840 fps.) Not sure which Woods mower you got, they use differing gear ratios on some models)

You might be able to find a buildup of black belt dust from chafing in the problem area, also. For instance, if the lower bearing in the gearbox were going out and allowing the output shaft to tilt, the drive pulley would operate at a slight angle relative to the rest of the system. Normally, on a cleaned deck, you would find the residue from the disintegrating belt in that area.

The First Choice rakes do look similar to Land Pride with some improvements. The top link holes are reinforced, the frame tube is heavier, the tine brackets allow easier changing of teeth, they come in your choice of 4 colors to match your tractor, and they are less expensive. In addition the guage wheel setup is more rugged.
