Just a hunch, could be part of a mulching kit - 62C deck calls P/N BM21890 as the mulching kit.https://www.muttonpower.com/p-9085-john-deere-62-mulching-kit-bm21890.aspx
With steel parts today often not being of the gauge of yesteryear, it's conceivable to run over a large object that turned out to be mostly immovable/immutable - in which case the mulching kit loses the fight and breaks apart...overdue to remove the deck and inspect the underbelly!
:wwp:
:goodl:
not to worry, nothing time, effort, and maybe $209 won't solve
let us know the outcome of what you find on the dark side of the deck
