I have two Lawn Boys that are the subjects of my inquiry:
1) A 1999 4 cycle 4.5 HP Self-propelled Silver Series,
and
2) A 2001 2 cycle 6.5 HP Manual push Silver Pro Series.
Upon inspection, they seem to have identical steel decks, except for the drive belt openings on #1.
Mower #1 cuts and sprays clippings very well, rarely, if ever, clogging.
Mower #2 cuts very well, but clogs frequently even when cutting low grass.
I am trying to determine a reason for the differences in clogging. The only other difference seems to be that, while they have identical blades, Mower #2 also has an 8 - 10 inch diameter "Mulching Fan" attached to the drive shaft below the blade. Could this Mulching Fan contribute to Mover #2 clogging? What do you suppose would happen if I just leave the Mulching Fan off?
