As you can see I have a 48 Super A with a woods model 59 belly mower. The mower s/n is 612 so its one of the first. My question is the sides of the mower deck are open, on all other pictures I have seen there are plates covering these holes. Is this a rear discharge mower? Do the plates make it a mulcher? I doubt this because of its age. I have a manual but it seems to be for a newer model as the belt pulley setup differs from mine. All help is appreciated.

Those mowers were flat deck and could discharge out either side depending on rotation. Standard blades and rotation was out the right side I 'think' but there again this is a flat deck and it doesn't really matter. If you covered up both sides and did not let it discharge, then it would mulch short grass and leaves. You had to take both sides off to cut tall grass. If you are going to mow your yard, put some real high lift blades on it and do like Burr said and let discharge out the back. Always make sure the skid shoes are on and adjusted to keep from burying a blade. Tom S.

Thanks Tom..I did'nt think of the blades. The Woods blades are expensive, I still run a pull behind Woods that's basically still the same as an older belly Woods type.

I don't actually know which way yours came originally, it could have been either way. When that mower was pretty commonly used we cut the back out if it came as a side discharge and covered the sides, and made a rear discharge of them. The dust will kill you with the side discharge and the projectiles from out of the side discharge is very dangerous to glass and people.
Also a side discharge woods does'nt make a pretty job of it when the lawn is finished.
