Kits to Improve Quality of Cut This section describes special kits developed to help resolve various quality of cut issues. Toro Recycler Mulch Plug Model 59134 fits Toro 21-inch Recycler Steel Decks Model 59135 fits Toro 21-inch Super Recycler Cast Aluminum Decks These plugs smooth the surface under the deck while adding an additional deflector. They fit in the bagging chute and prevent grass accumulation in that space. Cast Deck Height of Cut Notch Repair Kits P/N 105-1290 (Figure 77) fits 21-inch (35cm) Super Recyclers built 1995 and newer. Washout Port Kit P/N 95-3282 This kit (Figure 76) allows an operator to attach a garden hose to the deck and circulate water under the deck by engaging the blade while the water is running. This prevents grass buildup under the deck. Figure 77 mvc-460.tif P/N 49-4080 (Figure 78) fits 21-inch (35cm) Rear baggers and Recyclers 1978 through 1994. 1. Washout fitting 2. Coupling Figure 76 3. Hose washout.TIF If the underside of the deck is not cleaned after mowing, the accumulated grass can dry out and bond to the deck. Once this happens, the hard material must be scraped from under the deck. This often removes the protective paint from under the deck. With a washout port kit, it is easy to hook up a garden hose and clean the cutting chamber after each use. Many models currently have this kit factory installed. However, it can be used on most models by finding a place where the water can run into the cutting chamber and not hit a kicker or other object. Figure 78 2001-065.TIF These kits are used to repair cast decks with worn height of cut notches. The kits allow the operator to avoid replacing the deck. Note: These kits do not fit Vacu-Power, Landscaper, or commercial walk behind mowers. Service Dealer's Guide to Great Quality of Cut 6 - 1
