Guess, I'll show you my deck chute cover mod..
I also cut as much as I could out of the deck chute rear corner.. I can't cut any more, as I am limited by mulching kit cover. It still clumps fresh grass in that corner, but less. I ride mower with a stick between my feet. ever so often, I stop and lift cover up with that stick, then use it to shake grass clump off the deck. That deck curve .... it does nothing more but to collect fresh grass clippings... I'll never again buy a mower with deck discharge like that. Got to be like Toro has - straight deck, chute across entire deck, no corners for grass to get stuck in.
Anyhow. What I did, because the OEM chute cover was hanging down low, causing major grass backup, was I built two side walls out of sheet metal. As the result, it holds cover up much higher allowing much easier discharge. Yes, it does toss clippings higher up and farther, sure. And, if you turn right into the wind, it'll blow all that right at you.. But it discharges much easier now.
