Hey all. Spring is finally here so I'm servicing my mower deck and putting it back on the tractor. My vent plug looks buggered and I'm not sure if I need to replace it. Can anyone tell me if this will still vent, and if not where I can get another one? 1000003182.jpg

I believe it’ll be fine as is.

Then you might want to replace it or clean it at least. You can probably see some small hole on the bottom of it and possibly blow it out. The vent on top is probably around the inside of the rolled hump (guessing at how it works).

The dealer would be where to get a new one or possibly a mower repair business.

Cleaned the hole out, closest dealership is over 2hrs away. I could get it online if I knew the part #. I know there's a website that has parts lookup, but I can't remember it or find it again.
