Hi again Deejay
I cannot locate the Topic on blade adjusting that you suggested. More info/link please?

GRASS DEFLECTOR: Also I would like to know more about the mechanism of, and the positioning of, the grass deflector on the SB 45. What are best down and up positions. Also there is a "rope hole" in the deflector but no rope?. How was that the work? I get a lot of grass thrown out of the gap in the chasis above the rear rollers i.e beside the engine block. I dont think I have the 2 small knobs and the side spring plate set correctly.

GEAR ENGAGE LEVER/KNOB: Has anyone modified this lever on the 45 by making up a long rod so that the knob is positioned on the handle near the clutch lever (like some other brands)so it can be activated from behind the mower while operating/pushing? Or even better has anyone adapted a cable lever for the this clutch (similar to the existing drive clutch) like some other brands have? This way you would have the drive clutch activated by left hand and cut clutch by right hand (albeit you would have to keep it under pressure when cutting) unless you had a lever with a gate lock design.

Any thoughts experts?
