My mower is an L306. the "L" means LH discharge.
It does discharge out both sides but since the blades rotate counterclockwise, most of it goes to the left. On most lawn mowers the blades rotate clockwise and they discharge to the right.
This mower runs off the pto so the blades have to rotate counterclockwise. The L306 is made to fit many different brands/models of tractors. Mine was originally on a farmall H. My dad works for a woods dealer and I have the manual for it and it is set up the way it is supposed to be. The mower is not as wide as the rear wheels, so they offset it to the right. with LH discharge, you mow in a circle clockwise. that way the left rear tire that sticks out beyond the mower is running on what is already mowed rather than flattening what hasn't been mowed. The idler pulley brackets are angled so it has to be offset to the right. It is just an unfortunate combination. Since you sit on the right, and the cut line is on the left, the radiator/hood/muffler block your view of the cut line. I could mow counter clockwise, but then I would be running over unmowed grass with the left tire and blowing most of the clippings on to what hasn't been mowed. But yes, it is the right mower/brackets/tractor combination that woods designed. It worked fine on the H since you sit in the middle. But the H is a low SN '39 and I want to restore it. The BN is easier steering, more manuverable and easier to reach the shifter.
