i have a mtd with a rear delivery to grass bag collection the bottom piece is worn through with the belt con i fix it is very expensive to replace the deck itself is good the piece that the shute goes into i can cut out and weld new metal back in as i said the rest of the deck is perfect hope i can download pics thanks francy

Sorry, but I must need more coffee this morning as the pic you posted make no sense to me. Please post a couple of pictures from different angles if you can.

[ATTACHREUSE]

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.

Well anyone that uses this site might be using a different language and be posting via a translator. I deal with Russians and Germans but that does not mean I speak their. Although before I was two years old I spoke German but 60 yrs now in English country I don't know a word of it.

Nun, jeder, der diese Website nutzt, verwendet möglicherweise eine andere Sprache und postet über einen Übersetzer. Ich habe mit Russen und Deutschen zu tun, aber das heißt nicht, dass ich deren spreche. Obwohl ich vor meinem zweiten Lebensjahr Deutsch sprach, aber jetzt mit 60 Jahren in einem englischen Land weiß ich kein Wort davon.

never met a Scott who did not have a thick hide and a good sense of humour
Shared a house with a mr Kirk for many years ( called captain for obvious reasons ) .
He used to describe himself as the decendent of lowland cannon fodder & sword blade blunteners .
He was mugged one night on the way home.
His thick skull broke the length of 2 x 4 that they hit him with and he still managed to remove a large chunk of an offenders ear which naturally lead to their capture along with the prints on the broken 2 x 4 .
Happy days those ones .
And welcome aboard .

From personal experience the MacDonald and the McClenen clans have thick hides after they get to know you, but before that you had better step lightly, especially if you’re dating their offspring. Lucky I was wearing three pairs of socks and knew their preference in whiskey.

Personally everybody can just keep the alcohol to themselves. This is a personal choice of mine as I simply don't like the taste of it; although, the slugs around here just loves it so much that they will drown themselves.

It is clear to me that some 3" wide by required length of 1/16" thick Aluminum could be pop riveted over that. Keep rivets clear of belt path and raise it or lower it so the belt does not touch anything. You're welcome.

You may be able to find the parts you need for your mower on a site like this (could always post your needs and see if anyone responds)

No need to be insulted by non scots who don't now any better. We Gordons don't get mad, I like getting even more rewarding, Cock of the north.

Macallan is a fine whiskey. Scotch whisky has always been my favorite (although I've been getting into bourbon lately). I just don't keep it in the house. It's too easy to drink too much of. Beer has a limiting factor built in being that it's filling...
