Bought this mower the other week, bl00dy expensive here in Oz (over $9000) and first of all put 20x10-10 carlisle turf masters on it - had to do some grinding of the tank brackets to make it fit, but is much kinder on soggy lawns now...

then made up a chute blocker out of 5/8 steel, fabricated some brackets and welded them on...a couple of try outs showed a bolt needed to be added to hold it closed. Put on a gator g6 blade and it is mulching perfectly...
