Problem resolved! I have now welding in place, the center baffle front, using 3/4" angle iron. I next ground off the bolt tabs to attach the deck to the center baffle front, as those were the demons causing the bend and the blade gouging. Even with this in place, an unacceptable amount of grass and leaves accumulate around the spindles. The left spindle cover has a gap between the bottom of the cover and the mower deck, and I can blow a leaf blower through there, but the right one is blocked. Take off this cover, and using a hole saw such as for a door know, cut a round hold in the side of the right spindle cover. With these two fixes, I no longer need to buy new blades nor center baffle fronts, and I am able to clean the grass off of the spindles.

This was escalated, and the answer is that the part is needed, to keep clippings off the top of the mower deck, which could cause a fire. That stated, it is no solution. I bought a new center baffle front, installed it, and on the first mowing, it was again bent up into the blades. Here is a message to the designers. You need to weld the center baffle front to the mower deck housing. Attaching it at two forward-mounted holes is insufficient to keep it in place. The metal at those bolt holes is too weak. I have had this mower for less than a year, and am on my fourth center baffle front, and third set of blades, and have had the deck welded five times. I am a homeowner, not a commercial mower. You need to design and manufacture things with a bit more permanence.

I have experienced something similar, twice. First time, the battery terminals were loose, and after tightening it worked fine. The second time, I still had the mower blade engaged, and that interrupts the starter circuit. Check those two and try again.
