Pacemaster Platinum Pro VR Treadmill Deck Part Number APEBED

4 months and less than 150 miles it lasted. Cracked right down the middle. 3/4" is not as strong as original 1" deck.Replaced original deck that had 10+ years of steady usage. Yes, had to swap front guide brackets to new deck. 3 of the 4 holes lined up perfectly. 4th hole took a little persuasion to get installed.Ran up to 6 min pace and no issues. Completed a 6 mile run and no issues.yes, 3/4" center width over stock 1". Let's see how long it lasts. $200 vs $3,000 to replace, it's a win!

When my replacement deck was delivered I was so excited. Unfortunately, when I opened it up it already had a gauge out of it. Then, as my husband and I are assembling it we realize that what we bought did not come as described. There is a belt guider for this treadmill that you have to drill into the deck but the holes did not come pre-drilled so we had to do that. Then, when we went to put the stoppers that go on the side of the deck the holes were too big for the bolts!! So that led to a store to the hardware store to get the correct size bolts. Oh and beware, they don't tell you which side is the front and back but it actually does matter so check your old deck compared to the new one. I would not recommend buying anything from the Treadmill Doctor.

I ordered this part in March of 2014 and It only lasted 18 months before breaking again. The original deck lasted over 5 years and was one inch thick, this deck is only 3/4 inch. When I ordered this part in 2014, the deck came with two steel brackets bolted to the deck, I though this extra reinforcement would make up for the thinner deck (3/4), but it did not. The new deck I just ordered is also 3/4" and does not have the steel brackets. I am beginning to regret this purchase. I have emailed the seller with hopes that they can send me the correct replacement (1 " thick deck). Hopefully, they will make good on this issue.
