Craftsman Lawn Mower Deflector & Chute

This is a replacement lawn tractor shield-deflector. The shield-deflector, or grass chute, is made from strong, high-quality plastic and attaches to the lawn tractor deck's side. Its purpose is to direct grass clippings and other debris away from the rider while mowing. Over time, the original shield-deflector can become worn and damaged, allowing debris to blow up onto the lawn tractor driver. Debris expelled from the lawn tractor can cause property damage, injury, or even death. Ensure the area is always clear of bystanders while mowing and consult the operator's manual to ensure proper installation of all replacement parts.This shield-deflector is designed to be a replacement for original worn or damaged shield-deflectors on AYP, Jonsered, Redmax, Craftsman, Poulan, Husqvarna, Poulan Pro, Weed Eater, and McCulloch 46-inch lawn tractor decks. This replacement shield-deflector is an OEM part that is sourced directly from the manufacturer. The shield-deflector is sold individually and does not come with hardware included. Tools needed for replacement may consist of; 1/2 inch socket, 7/16 inch socket, vise-grip pliers, a large flat-head screwdriver, and a hammer.

The chute is placed on the side of the snowblower or thrower where the snow will be expelled. The snow comes through the plastic chute and is moved out of the path the user is clearing. The chute can suffer from damage in a range of ways. If the user runs the snowblower into a hard obstruction beneath the snow, it can cause damage. In some cases, the chute might crack, or it might break entirely. If there is damage to the chute, it will not work correctly. It will then need to be replaced. This is a genuine OEM replacement chute for snowblowers and snow throwers. It is sold individually, and the hinge bracket and hardware to attach the chute are sole separately. This chute is compatible with several brands including Husqvarna, Poulan, Poulan Pro, and Craftsman. Buyers who are looking for a replacement chute must make sure that it will work with their make and model.
