Is it a steel or alloy deck?

I had a steel 19'' Masport that flogged out the axle mountings in the deck, which in turn made it cut unevenly and dug into the ground. The bushings they use are terribly cheap, wearing through in short order. If not picked up on, you end up destroying the deck. I got less than 12 months out of mine before junking it.
