Tools Used:
Power Drill, Heavy duty scissors
The tail guard broke so I needed to replace it
The replacement part did not fit exactly, it was almost identical but not exactly, I had to drill some holes in it and then when I could not get the clips off of the mower to clip the guard onto the mower, I just cut the guard over more and slid it through the clips. So far it is working great.
