I have one that I think will fit your deck, but it's bent all to heck. If you want to get some exercise with your big hammer, I'll put it in the box with the spindles. If you can appreciate function over form, you can probably make something usable out of it.

Sorry to keep giving excuses Terry. We're going to the DFW area tomorrow to do some things for my Mom who is in assisted living. I will try to get the stuff in a pile and see what it weighs so I can try to get a shipping estimate early next week.
Have a nice weekend.

I will attach a picture of the trashed up deflector. I took after it with a big hammer and a vise last night AFTER the picture was taken, but it didn't come out alot better.
I don't know how you are about your equipment. The thing could probably be dropped on and used, but it would need a few tack welds where they have broken loose. Once you have it in your hand, you would be able to see how it could be used to make a rubber chute. By cutting off the sheet metal, leaving a rail along where it attaches to the deck, some thick horse stall rubber and some bolts, nuts and body washers could be used to make a rubber chute. You can get this rubber material at most any farm store for a few dollars a foot.
The spindles weigh about five pounds a piece and the chute probably another 10. Let me know whether or not you want to fool with the chute and I'll package it and get a shipping estimate. Hope this all ends up helping in some way.

Larry, I'll just settle for spindles. Shipping prob cost too much on deflector. New flex deflectors are 66.00. Wish I lived in Texas . I'd take it all. My sis lives in Greenville and I go see her once a year . Does this site have a PM section? Hate to be so public w/everything. Tks for all help . Let me know on shipping and how to forward funds. PayPal as gift??
Who is your local dealer? Maybe I should contact him to buy a flexible deflector . I have a grass collector that tows behind machine along with the other parts( belt driven blower and large tube that connects blower to bin) I'd gladly give this to u if u want it . Cost a fortune to get it to u. Heavy and big. U prob already have one but I will never use it.just a thought.
