Mower Deck

[Ikea6e]

I have a 48 GT deck on a 1862. It cuts great but throws a lot of grass on top of the deck (and your feet). More on the left side than the right.

Has anyone else had this problem? Anyone found a solution?

Thanks,

Ike

this is a problem with decks that comes from decks that are not to deep ,so i added a rubber strip ,thaa hangs down ,from the far lef to the center roller ,aboud two inch down ,it keeps the crud out of the engine .hope this helps .David

Something else that I do to keep my deck clean is to leave the spindle/belt guard off. I can blast everything clean with air or water each time I mow and get all of the grime and grass out of the deck's hidden places. I can only imagine what must happen inside those things when water gets into them along with wet grass and then sits all summer long.

My 1864 does the same thing with the 48" deck on it. I blow it clean with my backpak blower. No more grass clippings when I'm done!
