In fact, I ordered two different systems and one would simply not fit my mower deck, while the other, I didn't care for the lever sticking up on the end of the deck at the clipping discharge chutes. There are a number of "Universal systems" which use a handle or lever right at the end of the chute and usually engineered to be able to open and close these flaps while in motion, or at least without having to get off the mower. I looked at several different options for these "chute discharge doors". In the past, I have always planned my mowing to be able to "blow away" from all such landscape areas, but in some cases, it reduces my efficiency as I end up making passes in a direction to get back to an area where I can aim the mower chute away from the areas where we don't want clippings. I mow a lot of property which has extensive flower beds and other landscaping involved. Its a nice feature to be able to open and close the discharge chute while on the move, which is what this pedal system was designed to achieve.

Of the Krehbiel’s two daughters and five sons, only the eldest son, Edgar, showed interest in continuing the carriage business. He became a well-known leader in the community, helping establish Bethel College in 1893 and donating the land for the college. Krehbiel’s reputation spread as a maker of fine carriages, buggies, and delivery and farm wagons. The Krehbiel carriage factory was very prosperous, and Mr. When he constructed a two-story wagon and carriage factory adjoining the blacksmith shop that he already owned, his desire was to emulate the Studebaker brothers of Indiana “who were making the best wagons and buggies in the west.” A descendant of Swiss Mennonites, he and wife Anna and children had moved to Kansas from Iowa in 1879.
