Rubber Guard Replaces Mower Discharge Chute
 ✖  |
“I enjoyed reading the article in your last issue on how Al Robbins replaced the grass discharge chute on his riding mower with a chain guard that results in easier trimming and parking in tight areas (Vol. 41, No. 5). I had the same idea but I used rubber to replace the chute on my Deere F725 mower equipped with a 54-in. front-mounted deck,” says Bob Payne, Coldwater, Miss.
The mower’s original chute was damaged so Payne unbolted it. He cut a big chunk out of a tractor inner tube and bolted it on using existing holes. He also drilled an extra hole on front of the chute where the rubber is bent down. Then he trimmed the rubber down to size.
“It works great, and since tractor inner tubes are easy to come by it cost almost nothing to put together,” says Payne. “I’ve also used the same idea on another mower.”
