Description

This is a genuine replacement for select walk-behind push lawn mowers. The hinged mulch cover is designed to replace the clippings chute that allows discharge so that the grass is more finely mulched in the machine. This part includes a metal hinge, which can break or snap over time. The plastic itself can also become damaged by debris or impacts, or simply crack due to age. Replacing the mulch cover with a genuine OEM model like this can be the ideal solution. If the cover is not replaced, the mulching feature will not be able to be used. This OEM replacement mulching cover is compatible with lawn mowers from MTD, Yard Machines, Yard Man, Troy-Bilt, Cub Cadet, Bolens, and Husky. This product includes the metal bracket and spring that are required for installation and securing the cover, sold as a single assembly. This hinged mulching cover can be used with 150+ lawn mowers from the brands listed above. No tools are required for this part replacement but it is important to be careful of pinch injuries when working with parts like this spring-hinged cover.
