Mowing Discharge chute mods?

[sngleshot]

Gentlemen: Just remember that when you lift that chute with the PTO engaged...there is no downward deflection for any kind of projectile that possibly could have been sucked up and hit by blade force strong enough to propel that object a long distance and cause damage or bodily harm. Doug in an earlier post stated he has removed his chute up to a shelf? The assumption then is that he has chosen to mow without the safety guard in place. Risky business.

My Dad used a bungee cord on our 1505 MMM, worked great!!

I raised mine up to a shelf in the garage, to be reinstalled when I sell.

I can hear the sirens now! The Safety Police are on their way to get you! LOL! I'm not even going to say what I did with mine!

Exactly why I do not post many mods anymore... Much safer that way!!

I built a OCDC for my BX. Operator controlled discharge chute. I can drop the flap when mowing near buildings and get right up to them and/or squeeze into tight places.

I did this as well. Do they make MMM in rear discharge? I had a MMM and now have a 3pt.
