Thanks for everyone's help and suggestions. Last summer and this it has been so wet and humid in this area that the grass frequently is still wet at 4 or 5 in the afternoon. It is a fabricated deck, but there are no square corners, it has U shaped baffles welding around the blades forming close fitting channels. One of the reasons I bought it was that several years ago I bought a used Homelite T15 (made by Simplicity), that one was one of the best all around mowers I ever owned, and the decks were of a similar (not identical) design. I discovered by accident, when i removed the baffles on it to rebuild them that it mowed a heavy or wet grass much better, and made very little difference in the quality of cut normally. I thought about trying this with the Simplicity, but on the Homelite the blades were mounted at the front of the deck with the baffles behind, so removing the baffles made room for the grass to exit the blades at the rear. On the Simplicity the blades are at the rear of the deck with the baffles in front of them, and the baffles are welded in rather than bolted. I don't think removing them on the Simplicity will help, since the incoming grass will still be blocking the cut grass getting away.
