Here is my electric OCDC.

Nice. I was thinking just the other day that I need to do something better for mulching cover attachment on my rider. What is the actuator?

Very nice work! Have you had a chance to use it yet? I've been wanting to fabricate one myself, though will probably keep it a simple manual type. But I'm wondering what happens to the cuttings. Does it leave a windrow on the right side of the deck, or are clippings fairly evenly dispersed beneath the deck?

I ask because I have a bunch of trails, and when I cut what grows on them, I want to leave the clippings in place as a mulch to help with erosion.

Thanks, I used a Ford power window motor. I had the motor because the regulator had be replaced and it came with a motor.

Welcome to the Forum.

Thanks, I used it yesterday and today and I love it. My grass was pretty tall in places because I did not want to mow until this was completed. I mowed the one area again this evening where the grass was tall and thick. I left it closed and it left ball off grass/ windrows on the right side of the deck. When I mow my back yard the dust usually flys because the grass is not real thick. I had it opened just a little and it left rows of leaves. I'll get a pick of it tomorrow if the wind does not blow them away tonight. It is really nice being able to control how far the clippings blow.

Looks good! Power activation is a nice addition.

Here is what it does barely open.
