I guess this is the best place for this. If not, feel free to move it wherever it does belong.
I just got another MTD mower yesterday. It's in fantastic condition except for the trailshield. I'm calling it a trailshield because that what MTD refers to it as. Other guys call it a rock shield, or rear flap. It's the rubber strip attached the the bottom rear of the deck to prevent debris from flying our from under the mower. You guys know what I'm talking about.
Anyway, I thought I'd just order the part and put it on. The problem is that it costs over $30 before shipping and tax. It's a bit difficult to drop $30+ on a trailshield when the mower only cost me $45 and I'm expecting to put it out of resell at maybe $85 or $90. I have one other mower ready to sell that is completely missing the trailshield and one other deck that I'll put a Briggs on in the future that has a trailshield that is missing chunks.
So, is there a cheaper way to put a trailshield of some sorts on these things? I've only done a tiny amount of searching for an alternative, but so far I'm not finding exactly what I need. Anybody got an idea on this?
