From what I am seeing the deck is not in perfect condition but has rust out too. Just either replace the chute or repair it as it is badly worn.

Even with those pictures I can’t make out what you are talking about. I agree that deck needs work and if a belt cut through the chute, you should be looking at other problems.

I suspect that the chute blew out around the edge just above where it connect to the deck due to abrasion and rust and then due to lack of side support cracked across the top. And the belt had nothing to do with it.

IL, you are probably correct. I just very confused as to what is exactly wrong, because his English and pictures are very hard to decipher. Wish he would post something a bit clearer and a better explanation. Also unit model and serial numbers would be helpful.

I live 2000-3000 thousand miles away and my wife is of Scottish decent, but that doesn’t give me any idea of who you are. Sorry if you were insulted, but your description and use of the English grammar gave me no clue who or where you are from.
