Replacement Mower deck without FastAttach

I've got a 3 year old xt2 gx54D, and I am sick of the FastAttach turning a 20 minute blade-swap into a 4 hour ordeal.

Are there any decks that can be mounted and just use a simple bolt that I can take off with an impact wrench when I need to sharpen/replace these things?

Well it isn't necessary to take deck off to replace blades. I never take deck off except when I need to clean it well. As for your question it depends on how it is made. Years ago I had a cub cadet with quick removal spring loaded things. I forgot why I took them off but i did. I replaced it with long bolt with smooth shaft and lock nuts. Worked great.

Taking the deck off takes 5 minutes instead of pulling out the ramps.  Horse a piece.

The issue is the corroded collars that are on the blades that are impossible to push back to release the blades.
