Installed a ACS on my 930m last week. I spot-welded a light weight piece of 1" angle iron to the chute itself where the gap is between the chute and the deck (cut down 95% of the grass clippings on the spindle assembly etc.)
If you would have followed your instructions when installing, it tells you to just start the locknut until the threads start to come through the nut ,and your spring will be straight
you could put a piece of tubing over the bolt, snug the nut and flat washer against the tubing then install the spring over the tubing. just the way the deck is finished the plate doesn't seal well. is it possible to grind some off or is that support welded in too close for that?
Glad I came across this video. I have a 2013 Z920m and was looking at the ACS. After having it for a couple years are you happy with it or would you recommend another brand? Any way you could post a quick video of it while mowing with it down? Thanks and keep up the good work.
Yep. I pulled out the mower after sitting for only 3 weeks and there were already flat spots starting. They were gone within 1 yard, but still. Thanks.
Garden tractor? probably not. I'm pretty sure they would only fit on ztr's, but I'm not sure. With the way the lever folds back when the chute is open, there may be some clearance issues.
This is not only helpful for John Deere. But helpful for any kind of mow!! Best video I’ve found!! Well done

You got yours at the same dealer I purchased mine. Greenline on rt. 2 Fredericksburg. Great people...

How bulky is it once put on? When in the up position how far out does it stick or over hang?? Looking to put one on my 61” scag cheetah

Make sure you take the weight of the tweels over the winter so they do not develop flat spots.

Does it fall down by itself when you hit bumps?
How does it do with dust do you get covered in grass
wonder if something like that would fit my x540

Will it fit a 60in gravely
Yes
takes 2 seconds to grease it !
Just loosen that nut up until the spring doesn’t touch the bolt. Problem solved
