Deck Block-Off Mulching Plate for 72" Mower Deck Discharge Closure SKU: 493-0023-00
When grass clippings blow out the side discharge opening instead of being mulched properly, you lose the benefits of natural lawn fertilization and end up with uneven cutting results. This deck block-off plate seals the discharge opening completely, forcing clippings to recirculate under the deck where they get chopped finer and distributed evenly across your lawn.
Key Benefits
- Transforms standard side-discharge operation into effective mulching mode
- Heavy-duty construction withstands constant impact from debris and blade turbulence
- Direct bolt-on installation replaces the discharge chute with no modifications needed
- Improves clipping retention for better mulch quality and lawn nutrition
This plate installs where your discharge chute normally mounts, creating the sealed deck environment needed for proper mulching performance. The robust design handles the increased airflow and debris circulation that comes with mulching operation, while the precise fit ensures optimal blade clearance and deck efficiency.
