2006 TroyBilt Pony...decided I needed new blades as I just bent one.
Thinking about the gator blades, and ideas or opinions would be
appreciated. Question 2: Just put the optional deck wheel kit on this
year. Makes a big difference, no more ring around the trees. Anyway
when I bent the blade, I dont know if I knocked the deck out of
alignment or what but the deck wheel on the left looked like it was
not going straight. I cant Imagine I bent that bracket when I clipped
a stationary stand in the yard. The deck bounced a little, but the
brackets are a good 1/8" thick. Any ideas, or am I going crazy?

The big question here is have you bent the crank shaft of the engine that the blade bolts on to?

Impact damage like this can destroy the machine quite easily

No your plan is fine.
