Cub Cadet 2182 mower deck cracks

My Cub Cadet 2182 60” Haban deck has a couple of cracks. There is a crack on each bracket where the spring loaded pins are mounted on to lock into place on the mule of the tractor. The cracks both formed on the deck portion of the mounting bracket that contacts the deck.

My question is: should the rear deck wheels be lower to hold the weight of the deck or higher to put less pressure on those spring loaded mounting pins and brackets?

Two of my acquaintances do a LOT of mower repair work. Biggest problem is thin
decks AND people going too fast beating the crap out of the decks. Straighten
things out, reweld, and reinforce stuff a little. Not being curt just have seen
enough broken up decks. Had to totally rebuilt the 54 inch on my used Husqvarna
and made new patch plates and support towers. And this bigger deck is on an
estate machine and is 10ga. steel. Really got to beat the corn chips out of a
machine to break that stuff. The small decks on stuff are little better than
soda cans.
