Keep it simple design and rigid...(y)...does it rattle while in operation?
That's right, sir!

It's designed so you have press the top/center of the shield down in order to insert the keeper pin, so it stays nice and tight. #NoRattle

How will the shield be shipped? I definitely want one. A $110 home delivery charge would be prohibitive for me though.
Thanks

Edit: I found the answer on their website.
  • Free UPS Ground Shipping to your home within 1,000 miles!
Yes sir.
Just disregard what it says about a business during checkout.

Finally! I've been looking for something that would fit my Frontier mower similar to this. Working on the slip clutch or greasing takes way too long with the existing plastic shield. As soon as I get a chance to measure my gearbox I will be ordering one.
Sounds good, sir.

Yes, this will greatly simplify the process!

My entire pto shield is stored under a bench...shhh. I did look at the bolt spacing on my KK cutter and it is the 2-3/8 spacing.

Everything old is new again...
My Ford 909 rotary has an octagonal guard that mounts with that same system. Very nice for servicing the U-Joint/Slip Clutch.
Nice to be able to retrofit that style to modern mowers.

I will also be ordering one, as soon as I can measure my gearbox.

Unfortunately, I've put it away for the season, so may have to dig some stuff out to get to it.

Worth the $ to get rid of the aggravation.

Maybe I won't need to measure mine.
Anybody know the measurement for a
Frontier RC2060 rotary cutter?

The only relevant info I have on the subject is second hand.
Yesterday, someone ordered one with 2 7/8" spacing and noted that it's for his RC2060.
