Options for Discharge Covers

[mrgrigsby]

I have a Model Z231 Zero 42-inch cut mower. I am looking for a lower-profile discharge cover. The factory original is torn and flaps when I mow. Looking for a better option than the factory original.

Form something out of thin metal and attach a couple of hinges to suit you!

Seems that will be a custom owner fabrication.

Have thought about using chain like this?

Cut off the floppy bits and make it low profile

THANK YOU for wanting to KEEP the cover ON !!! I cringe every time I see 'naked' mowers. Busted windows are easy to fix, having to listen to a very young child WAIL for 17 minutes while the ambulance arrives is NOT easy.

Make a rubber chute? I'm sure something could be whipped up from pieces of an old HV blanket or similar "springy" rubber.
