Abstract
A universal mower deck discharge boot is formed by rotational molding into two sections which telescope one over the other and each of which is formed with a blank forwardly or side facing wall portion, which wall portions together are adapted to be cut out and formed with an opening which closely conforms to the discharge chute of a mower deck. The forward section is otherwise generally closed at the sides and the top and the bottom and is formed with a curved forward wall to resist catching on obstructions, while the rear section is formed with a discharge spout adapted to receive a flexible conduit. The sections telescope one relative to the other to conform to the dimensions of a wide variety of mower deck discharge chutes.
