42in deck grass deflector question
 

All the grass deflectors underneath are GONE? would like to replace them with some sheetmetal suggestions on thickness. Could someone please let me know the height of deflector. The length and curve I think I can tell where they were before. thanks

:bigthink:

Are you talking about the Baffles on the bottom side of the Deck...???

:Huh:

Yes baffles

If money's no object ihccw has one. Look under mower parts, down towards the bottom of the page. I found this after i had already made one. I made mine out of 2"x1/8" flat bar.

Since you make NO mention of the model of your deck, most of the baffles are replaceable. Just order them from your local dealer or the sponsors listed at the top of the page.

Thanks for posting that pic and that info for my 42in deck. A pic is worth a thousand words. For 82.00 Im glad its not green I know Ill be fabricating my own, some things are dealer only and well worth the money, but that "baffle" is not worth that kind of coinage.

YES, those baffles can be custom fabricated. I have to agree, $~$82.00 is a lot for some formed steel bands.

Measure the distance between the Deck Lid and the Bottom Edge and that is the width. Allow about 1/2" from the outer tip of the blade and that is the circumference. I believe the baffles were held in place by small "L" brackets welded to the baffle then bolted to the deck lid.
