How do you convert a Murray 10HP 30 side discharge riding mower to a mulching setup?

Answer 1

First of all you will need a mulching blade or blades. These blades have wings that draw the grass back up to be mulched instead of throwing it straight out. Then you will have to block off the open discharge hole. Some models sell a plastic insert just for this. If not, you'll have to make your own. When doing this make sure the blade doesn't hit it when it comes to that area and also make it as round as you can to conform with the rest of the mower otherwise grass will clog in that area.
