When I mounted mine (1980) I never thought anything about up or down
location. I put it in the middle and where it was easy to do. Having been
thinking about it since this thread has started, I'm concerned that it's
wrong, However it always worked and I can't see what's going on back there
anyway. I think the video is a great idea. Rich Fox

'chutes is basically the 'chute is located pretty much where the license
plate was (or should have been) with much apparent scientic thought to
location other than lower than the deck lid. Can we we generalize and say it
should centered (left to right) and slightly above the differntial top line?
There seems to be some differing opinions amongst the listers here and I'm
looking to sort this thing out prior to bolting on a Stroud ribbon 'chute.
