I was told that you could lock the flapper in the up postion on a riding mower.If this is true,can someone please tell me how...I have been holding it up with a rope tied around it.But that does not let my deck stay even.

Drill a hole and use a cotter pin to hold it open or mount an eyebolt on the flapper and tie it to the top of the deck. Just suggestions. Good luck

Why would you want to do this. You will disable a safety feature.

Please let me explain...The reason that I do this is to get it in and out of my shed....I have to hold the flapper up to fit through the door....So when I heard you could lock the flapper up....I thought great...That will work out for me if I can find out how....That's the only reason...I mow with the flapper down....:D

C Q, I use a bungie cord that has a hook on each end.

I use a bungee cord also, find one with the desired length so there is no tension on the deck.

Whoops. Thought you wanted to mow a wet area with the chute open

yes my mower has a metal clip thats holds the flap in the up position. I also mow with it up. It keeps grass from clogging up under the mower as bad and also my mower cuts the grass better that way.
