Description:

This is an authentic OEM supplied replacement item that is specially produced for use on lawn mowers. Mulch plug is secured to the side of the mower deck to keep the grass under the deck for mulching. This makes the grass clippings smaller to be better as mulch since the smaller clippings will decompose quicker releasing their nutrients into the soil. Please note this durable plastic much plug is sold individually.

Guest - November 4, 2020 Verified Purchase

easy repair

this part was easy to install it fit perfect it took a little longer to arrive than I thought it works great

Guest - May 2, 2019 Verified Purchase

Not a good fit

The part looked to be correct However the fit was extremely tight and required a bit of sanding and a hammer to seat the plug. Once installed it worked it did the job. No more grass catching or trails if cut grass. Delivery was prompt. I would not hesitate using this supplier again.

Guest - June 6, 2019 Verified Purchase

Part was correct , thank you

I cut grass with the plug install, during the cutting cycle, grass clippings did not mulch . I had to rake entire yard to retrieve clippings.
