Snapper RER question
Original Message   Jun 28, 2005 5:43 pm
I just picked up an old but in very good condition 8hp  Snapper 26" Hi-Vac ReR. I have been told that snapper does not make a mulching kit for this model. If I manufactured a deck plug from sheet metal could I then install a gator mulching blade and expect good results? Thanks for all the replies in advance..... Paul Gruber

  Also, by adding the deck plug, he may have to deal with getting down and digging out grass from underneath the deck if there is any dampness to the grass....even just dew.  This way, the clippings still shoot out but fine like mulch.  The best of all worlds, IMO.

This is a great point Paula....I should of thought of this. Thanks for doing so for me.

You're welcome Paul

I wound up cleaning out the deck a few times after mowing some damp grass and that was enough to convince me to take off the deck plug.  What I did was just mow counter clockwise so that I ran over the grass I had already mowed which cut it up fine enough to be mulch.
