Hello,
I just purchased a used Grasshopper 1995 721D with a 9361 mowing deck. I have the owners manual but there are some questions I still have. I read somewhere on the web, that even a non hydraulic deck can be "flipped? if done manually. Does anyone know if this is true and if so, how to do it? I presume the hydraulic form of the "power flip deck" is unique to the deck rather than to the 721D itself and could be purchased if I wanted to buy a new deck .. is this correct? What is the best way to get access to the blades if this is not a hydraulic flip deck? I have a Mojack that I bought for my Simplicity but wasn't sure if it was okay to use on the Grasshopper. Also, I am planning on converting it to a mulch mower but wanted to know if anyone has had any experience with the mulching kit, part #503594. I found a less expensive kit, part number #503595 but wasn't sure if the last digit makes it incompatible with my unit.. any information, opinions and thoughts are very much appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to read this...
