Abstract
A mower deck spindle cover includes a panel that covers a spindle pocket on a mower deck in a lowered position. The spindle cover is attached to a mounting arm for pivoting between the lowered position and a raised position. A torsion spring biases the panel to the lowered position. The spindle cover cannot be removed from the mower deck unless the mower deck is separated from the tractor or vehicle.
