I own a 1993 LX178 John Deere lawn tractor with a 38 inch mower deck on it. At the present time, I have gator blades on the mower deck, and I am wanting to make a mulching plate to go on the discharge side of the mower deck, so that I can mulch grass and tree leaves. Anyone have a idea on how this can be made, and what kind of material would be best to make it out of. I checked with John Deere, and they make a plastic mulching plate for the deck for my lawn tractor. The price of the plastic mulching plate is around $30.00. I thought that was kind of a high price for a plastic mulching plate. If possible, I would like to make a mulching plate out of a thin piece of metal, or some other material, that would be better than plastic, and would cost less than buying the plastic mulching plate for $30.00.
Any ideas that anyone would have on making a metal mulching plate out of thin metal, or out of any other material would be most appreciated.
