I want to use the side discharge. Does this mower come with the attachment that holds the mulch door open to allow for side discharge?

Yes it does. Side door can close after side discharge attachment is removed (no tools, side discharge attachment simply attaches well by placement) and read door bagger attachment door closes when bagger is removed to allow the mulching or the side discharge feature. All 3 features are easy to use & are designed well too.

No, The air direction is one way, the wrong way for what you would like to do. The bag or blower tube is on the outlet side. The mulch/vac tubes are on the intake side.

It attaches to my unit fine. Wish I could advise you as to the older unit but have no clue. Maybe you could contact the weedeater people for the information. It may only fit certain models. Good luck.

It sure does. There should already a covered hole there for it. Left side of the mower assembly

The Husqvarna 24K48Fast is the mower that I have as well. I had to add a large washer to the rear stud so the bungee cord wouldn't slip off and it works just fine. In answer to your question NO the proper kit is only available through Husqvarna and cost plus shipping is over $130. The mulch blades are the same but the mulch cap rubber bungee cord attachments are located a little bit differently. The cap fits perfectly covering the discharge chute completely

Pat, There's no real trick just be sure that small turned up slots are on the top of the blade and everything else will fall into place. If you have a deflector to cover the grass discharge it will greatly improve the performance of the cut & mulch.

The blade that's on it mulches. You can change the side attachment to side discharge if you'd prefer to rake it up... but who would want to do that???

Looks like a standard blade. I just looked. The picture shows a cover that makes the mower a mulching mower. Comes that way. A different flap makes it a side discharge mower. Comes with the second flap.

It has the option to have the side discharge, or to collect into the bag on the back. So yes, I think that does make it a mulching mower. We don't use the bag, so I can't say how well that works, but the mower has been a real gem otherwise.

Discharge only. This is my second purchase of this mower. I needed a second because of a second property. It is easy to use and this new model is an improvement over the first. It is light and simple to operate. I use it for trimming before I jump on my rider.

The mulch exits through a opening on the lower right side. The opening has a protective cover that the mulch pushes open. The bag does not have to be attached. I have used the machine twice and it works great.

Mulching blades are used with the outlet from the deck sealed off; they feature low lifting design and a variable surface blade edge, often a "hump" in-between the hub and the primary cutting surface at the end is a common feature. If that photo represents the blade you are purchasing it does appear to be a mulching blade, the odd shaped leading edge and clipped blade tips make be believe it is a true mulching blade.

It was included in mine, per my definition of a plastic box that slides in and out of the rear of the mower. It is usually not full after I cut my 1/3 acre so I assume the clippings otherwise are dispersed onto the lawn. The box is very easy to deal with; I empty it after each use and also turn the mower on its side to scrape off any residue from cutting. Very easy to deal with.

As mentioned, there is no mulch plug. There is a small orange dial on the right of the mower you push in and turn. It moves a flap over the grass chute to either keep the clippings in and getting chopped up or back out of the way to allow the clippings into the bag or out the back. If the dial gets hard to turn, a quick blast of wd40 or similiar lubricant to the hinge area will loosen it back up. Battery life realy depends on how much work the mower is doing so you'll have to experiment. I get a half hour easily out of mine.

Yes, it does. It's really a great pump. The discharge was aiming in the wrong direction on the one I got, but it's a very simple loosen-4-screws, rotate, tighten-4-screws fix.

Hi EricG, I tend to keep in in mulch mode...it collects pretty well, though not so good with damp grass. Never tried the side action, as prefer to collect the cuttings. Cuts better than the original, however, IMO.
