When I bought our 50" Quest S Steering Wheel mower, I had a Mulch kit installed from get-go....
Due to rocks, I'm finding that the Mulch cover that is added to block where the grass would be expelled, gets bent, and once it hit blades. I have found that a pipe wrench will bend the metal back.... but it's obvious that that metal cover is far less solid than the mower deck is....
My question is.... I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered this... and if so.... what did you do..... to get around this problem???
I'm considering removing that metal cover and taking it to local welding place to have a stronger piece of metal welded to the outside, to stiffen that metal....
Is there a better solution? Another Stronger part? If a stronger part is available (Other than what comes with the mulch kit, as that is not as strong as the mower deck is), what's the revised part #?
