I bought a side discharge rhino 72" mower, used one season and in very good shape for $800. Can a side discharge be converted to a rear discharge? The back trailing edge of the side discharge mower is elevated just like the rear discharge. The only difference I can see is the placement of the grass defectors on the underside. The deflectors are curved peices of metal about 1/8" thick and 2.5" tall and about 2' in length, tack welded to the underside. The side discharge has the defectors toward the rear to stop the grass from going out the back. The rear discharge has the deflectors more placed in the middle and the back is open. Are other mowers set up like this with deflectors underneath the mower? Could I remove the deflectors completly, block off the side chute and mow OK? Am I brave enough to try doing it?
