Baffle needed

[Dutch6]

Hi all,
Just picked up a Simplicity ZT 14 38 and am restoring the 38" deck. I need part # 1708064, baffle, deflector, mulching. The old baffle is so rusted it must be replaced. Of course, the part is no longer available so if someone has a serviceable (no holes) baffle for sale?
BTW, mower is model # 1693467 and deck is # 1692912 and is set up for mulching.
Thank you.

Or you could take it to a metal shop and have them make you a new one.

Thanks for the reply, but -been there, done that. None available for this p/n and no substitute either.
I have not, however, been able to find a service/repair manual for the ZT. Have parts lists and wiring diags.
Yes, I could try a metal shop but I'd first try to make myself. Just thought I'd see if one was available before digging out the mig.

Sometime this crap can be very frustrating.
