Sarge, et al,

You seem like a resourceful guy. Got a suggestion on what to use as a
mulch plate on my 42" JD deck? I just don't want to pay the $75 they're
asking down at the dealership.

TIA

I've picked up a couple at yard sales and year-end clearance tables for a
couple bucks and modified them to fit.

yea, but you're smart enough to do that. what
about those who shop for lawnmowers at sears?

there is a two piece chute utilized on my White
GT-1810 for attaching the grass catcher system.
the short piece clamps to the deck. by cutting a tire inter
tube and then using a bungee cord to affix the inter tube over
the opening thus prohibiting the grass clippings an escape the
result was like presto almost instant conversion from side
discharge to mulching deck.... and then there are those who
will proclaim loudly how the blades are not right!
