This is a genuine OEM sourced replacement part designed for use on Toro lawn mowers. It is mounted to the side of the mower and it acts as a door to keep the grass under the deck. This makes your grass clippings better as mulch since the smaller clippings will decompose more quickly, releasing their nutrients into the soil. Please note a bracket and other hardware used to attach this mulch door are sold separately. This part is made out of black plastic and it is sold individually.
Remove all of the parts from the broken chute.
Place the spring in the deflector so it will force the deflector down, when assembled
With pressure on the spring, lower the assembly to the bracket on the saw and press the pin through the hole ion the bracket, through the spring and out the other side of the deflector
Removed bolt and replaced new parts, including a larger piece of the selector assembly ordered elsewhere. It went together well and is now functioning appropriately.

The tab on chute was broken, deflector fell off, ran it over
Removed old parts, took spring loaded part off old chute, installed on new, reassembled parts on mower
Spring loaded chute was tough to reassemble, had to use vice grips to hold spring while installing pin that held assembly together.

Missing side deflector cover and attachment hardware.
Removed the old deflector. Used a screw driver to push the pivot shaft out so I could grab it with a pair of pliers. Removed the shaft. Removed the spring from the old chute and put it in place on the new chute. Reinstalled the pivot shaft and attached the assembly on the lawn mower. Done.
Unbolt two standard 10mm bolts from lawn mower main deck side. Pull out retaining pin/spring carefully. Has some tension on part. Reassembly all parts in the reverse sequence. Place part to mower deck. Firmly tight bolts for safety. Done with major savings. Thanks.
