Re: (ET) Leaf Raking and ETs

[Dean Stuckmann <dstuck lakefield net>]

I converted a 4' Haban center mount that was from ??? and made it a front 
mount using an old blower motor. It's not a "moose" and comes on and off 
like the mower deck would. The front mount also makes it easy to see what 
you are doing and allows you to quickly swing in and out of the way of 
posts and trees. It also gives the added benefit of mowing all the way 
into an inside corner. 

Only use it a few times a year but worth it.

Dean A. Stuckmann
