Honda composite deck side discharge chute

[tcpuccio1]

Does anyone have a link to someplace that sells a side discharge chute for these machines? the deck is all the same on the composite deck models. doesn't matter if it has the my pace speed self propel or the different speeds unit the deck is the same. I love this machine, but it clumps the grass on rear discharge and I'm sick of it filling my shoes/boots up with grass clippings. apparently Honda doesn't make any for these machines and can't find an after market one that spells out my specific model. don't want to shoot from the hip and hope it fits. my model is a HRX217K6HYAA and the fac that they discontinued their gas line of mowers doesn't bode well they will ever have OEM discharge chutes for these models of machines.
Thanks in advance

This is a rear bagger model.

that's what I have no side discharge chute for it.

does it even have an opening for a side discharge?

no rear discharge. the metal decks have rear discharge only and they have side discharge chut attachments. they don't for these and the bag configuration is different metal deck/composite. a neighbor of mine has an older Honda and the bag attachment hooks are different, I was thinking I could use one from a metal mower on one of the newer ones.... there is no way it will work...

just go to Craigslist or Facebook market place and buy a $75 Toro where the owner has moved to electric. There are hundreds of them here for as low as free.
