Shield-trailing 92-8647

Lift the rear of the lawnmower and locate the small holes on the rear on both sides of the mower. Take the new lawn trailing shield from the package and place one of the nipples into one of the holes. You may need to rotate the shield or flip it around to install it. Very easy to install. No tools needed.

Slightly elevated the mower using 2 empty 1 gal. paint cans and simply pulled (from the center) the existing plastic shield from it's installed position. Then installed the new shield. Maybe took all of 2 min. to complete this repair.

What was really amazing, was the customer service in getting this part to me in RECORD time! It saved my NEWLY planted lawn, and really secured me as a customer for all of my parts needs, going forward!
