BX2380 missing parts

[bxdzljoe]

Just bought BX2380 w/60" belly mower. noticed the discharge side of deck is missing scalp plate; left side is attached, holes are punched in deck lip but no scalp plate installed. KUBOTA shows only one on parts page(090)????? WTH? Doesn't make sense

don't have a deck but.... will 090 the left plate, fit the holes on the right side , if turned upside down ?

Do ANY other decks HAVE the right plate ? Maybe check Google images ??
perhaps K decided it wasn't needed after the die was made(so all decks have the 'right side drain holes' ....?
maybe the version after serial number xxxxxxx- ,it was deleted, so picture IS correct ?

as for not making sense, Purlater ships all my packages an extra 140 KM,burning up more fuel and time

This is a picture of my BX 54" mower deck from a while back. Looks same as yours.

The deck on my BX2200 only has only has the plate on one side.

It's not missing anything. That's the way they're made.

What those extra holes are for is when you have the Kubota rear bagger . There is a plate that bolts on that side that diverts the grass more towards the back of the opening .

Sorry for the thread drift… but Exactly What does a ”scalp plate” theoretically accomplish?…and HOW?

(Does the blade-actions “suck” air …thereby sucking grass in-toward-the-blades prematurely causing them to bend and be cut higher on that side..?? (the plate preventing their bending into the blades until they “pop” upright to be cut?)

If it's the same as ZT mowers, it's a skid plate (with or without a wheel) that keeps the deck from bottoming out on uneven terrain.

Probably related to the rotational direction of the blades and cut grass.
