Retired Wrencher 4,876 #1 Posted April 20, 2018 Hi I have a 94 Toro 832 professional rider. I am looking to replace the discharge Shute. Clear plastic is to expensive. Can't find straight black plastic. So I am thinking of going with stove pipe. Has any one ever tried this? I still have the original piece of clear, but it getting very fragile. Any thoughts would be welcome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ronhatch 405 #2 Posted April 20, 2018 Yes, I've used stove pipe on a couple of my tractors with a vacuum system. For flexible connectors on the ends, I've also used 6'-8" sections of inner tube. It all worked very well and it was cheap! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lee1977 6,214 #3 Posted April 20, 2018 I would used galvanize stove pipe it's usually a little heaver and won't rust as quick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WVHillbilly520H 10,369 #4 Posted April 20, 2018 Why not something like the lawn vac hose I would thing Home Depot or TSC could get replacement flexible sections for cheaper than Toro replacements, just a thought, Jeff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tankman 3,515 #5 Posted April 21, 2018 (edited) Often thought 'bout using a duct boot. https://www.lowes.com/pd/IMPERIAL-12-in-x-4-in-x-6-in-Galvanized-Steel-End-Register-Duct-Boot/1000230321 And flexible duct pipe. https://www.lowes.com/pd/IMPERIAL-6-in-x-96-in-Aluminum-Semi-rigid-Flexible-Duct/50169335 Edited April 21, 2018 by Tankman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ronhatch 405 #6 Posted April 21, 2018 (edited) Stove pipe is smooth for ease of grass/leaf flow, which in my book is a plus. Did I mention it's cheap? Edited April 21, 2018 by ronhatch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Retired Wrencher 4,876 #7 Posted April 21, 2018 Thanks for the info guys. It still works but it is getting very tender. I have to use it very gentle. And of course it is obsolete for Toro. The engine runs great deck has been rebuilt. The tranny I treat it with care very had to find these. But it is al worth it mow`s very well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tankman 3,515 #8 Posted April 22, 2018 (edited) Perhaps Schedule 20 PVC pipe. Also inexpensive, available at Lowes and Home Cheapo. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Charlotte-Pipe-6-in-x-2-ft-Sewer-Main-PVC-Pipe/4757741?cm_mmc=SCE_BINGPLA_ONLY-_-RoughPlumbingElectrical-_-OutdoorDrainage-_-4757741:Charlotte_Pipe&CAWELAID=&kpid=4757741&CAGPSPN=pla{ifdyn:dyn}&k_clickID=a2230566-b332-4b42-83a0-0a5d76c8251a&msclkid=3c79dd1ba6891357bd2987c07d681d41 Edited April 22, 2018 by Tankman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ronhatch 405 #11 Posted April 22, 2018 (edited) I don't think it's a question of getting electrocuted as much as it is the static building up in the plastic tube which can cause the grass clippings / leaves to cling to the pipe and restrict the flow.
