The 14bl. Vacuum With Power Flow Is gone

Jonsstihl Maybe you should start a thread ??

here is a pic of the modified mulch kit

and a pic of my cardboard templates taped into place

the left side mulch kit baffle only needs to get the baffle between sections removed but the right side mulch kit baffle needs to have the baffle between sections and the end plate cut off then adjust the angle so it exits right and have a tab welded to use an existing hole in the mower deck to bolt it down. There is even already a notch on the underside of the mulch kit that let me slide the tab under the baffle and weld it to the outside of the baffle so it wouldn't disrupt the flow of air under the deck. I used a piece of 3/16" angle iron for the tab.

That is creative on the mod. When will you be testing it out?

the modified mulch kit has already been tested and works quite well at containing the leaves under the deck. I Just think I will run into problems when the leaves get thicker.

The baffles are going to get cut tonight (hopefully) and may get welded up this weekend if I have time.

I think the baffles will work just as well as the modified mulch kit without restricting underdeck flow.

Hope to see some pictures of it working on the leaves, and hope the mod works well when leaves are thicker.
That time is coming here too.. I try to make several passes to keep ahead of the leaf fall. Mostly because I like the looks after picking up the leaves and can't wait for all of them to fall. Too risky getting caught with an early snowfall and then not able to clean up all winter.
