Am I missing mower deck brackets?

I have an old MTD 1200 tractor. It came with a mower deck, and I havent found the manual yet to determine proper installation. Looking at the tractor itself the right side of the machine seems to have a few more bracket parts than the left side. Ive been unable to find a good picture online. Im attaching pics of both sides.

It looks like you have the same deck as my MTD 1500. You are missing hangers on the left. These are the best pics I have of the hangers installed on the deck and uninstalled during a rebuild. The hangers are the x shaped hangers on the right and left edges of the rebuild photo and the four hangers at the bottom right of the rebuild photo. I downloaded a manual from gttalk for a Unico 42 inch mower deck model number 193-962. You have to be a member to download manuals, but it is a free membership.

It does appear to be the same deck, but ill double check. Where did you buy replacement parts?
Most of those parts are just cleaned up and repainted. The only thing I had to replace was one blade spindle and it was around 85 dollars for the spindle, bearings and housing. I got them at a place called Boechter Supply. I know there are sources that advertise on this site, but this place is only a half hour from me and so that's where I go. It is also where I get parts for my old Briggs engines. This is what the deck looks like since the rebuild. I used it once before the rebuild to see if it worked and once after the rebuild for the same reason. I don't keep it attached to the tractor on account of I would rather have the 3 point lift on it and you can't have both at the same time. And I have a different tractor I prefer to use for mowing.

Thanks for all of your help. I guess I might need the belt too as well as the "X" brackets. Pictures were very helpful, Im sure I can find them somewhere.
