Thanks, was thinking about modifying mine to make it work.
It worked out great, being $40 difference in guards. Little anxious on cutting up new guard, being you broke (cut it) you bought it. Hustler needs to put a note in manual by the 119597 (may also be 122817 depending on serial #). If you dig farther into manual you can see there was a change in bumper part# is why 122817 is needed.
