Ive got a 2160 lawn tractor. (inherited from my father) It has the rear discharge, with hydralic dumping hopper. Its pretty cool in design, but doesnt really work well in my yard. Too many trees, and fences. Has anybody converted one of these to side discharge? ive never pulled the deck off to see what it looks like, but i can weld. Just not sure if its actually possible without ruining the mower in the process.
Thanks,
