Does this fit my product?Questions & Answers for Chute-side Dischar
Does the replacement side-discharge chute come with the mounting bracket which afixes the discharge chute to the mower deck?
Bob
for model number 12A-A26M011
asked on 2022-04-13
Hello Bob, Thank you for your inquiry. We have researched the model number you have provided and the mounting bracket does not come with the chute. The chute is installed by lifting up the mulch plug and snapping the chute into place underneath it, as seen in our video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxwoxwNW4wE
If the mulch plug is damaged, then you would need to replace it or the bracket which we have listed as related parts below. We hope this helps and if you need help placing an order, customer service is open 7 days a week. Please feel free to give us a call. We look forward to hearing from you!
