COMMANDO1 23 #1 Posted February 7, 2012 HAS ANYONE EVER FAB'ED A SIDE DISCHARGE INTO A REAR...IS IT POSSIBLE, I THINK THE REAR DISCHARGE ARE MUCH BETTER. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rollerman 290 #2 Posted February 7, 2012 Depends what model of deck you are talking about. I would say with a 36" side discharge it could be converted since both the side & rear discharge in that size are very similar. Now if your talking the 42" models, the deck shells are nothing alike, nothings impossible....but it would be more work an expense than buying another deck in my opinion.

COMMANDO1 23 #3 Posted February 7, 2012 CANT YOU JUST BLOCK OFF THE SIDE AND CUT OUT THE BACK....I ALMOST DID IT TO MY CRAPSMAN. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rollerman 290 #4 Posted February 7, 2012 Again, what size deck our we talking about? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly 1,033 #6 Posted February 7, 2012 Not really on a 42" the shape of the deck in the back and the hangers will not let you cut much out, I have a few nice 42" RD decks not sure where you are. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rollerman 290 #7 Posted February 8, 2012 If you need or want a rear discharge I'd look for one. With the back of a 42" SD deck cut out I'd think it would weaken it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
