115-8447 Side Discharge Chute & 115-8449 Side Deflector - 99-5293 Torsion Spring - 136-8672 Cover Rod, Compatible with Toro Lawn Mower, for Many 22" Recycler Lawn Mower 2009-2015

What It Is

This bundle replaces the side discharge chute, deflector, torsion spring, and cover rod on 22" Toro Recycler lawn mowers (model years 2009–2015). It redirects grass clippings out the side deck opening and keeps the deflector closed when not in use.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying:

• Verify your mower’s deck size is exactly 22 inches (measure cutting width, not wheelbase).
• Check model year: 2009–2015 Toro Recycler models (e.g., 20332, 20339, 20340).
• This is an aftermarket kit—not OEM Toro. It fits all Toro Recycler decks with the same mounting holes and rod diameter (approx. 5/16").
• If your mower uses a different spring or rod length (pre-2009 or post-2015 models), this kit will not fit.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Metal chute and deflector are sturdy; torsion spring matches OEM tension. Some users report the paint chips faster than original.
• Installation: Moderate difficulty (30–45 mins). You’ll need a 3/8" socket and pliers to compress the spring. Watch for the rod’s retaining clip—it’s easy to lose.
• Common gotcha: The spring can snap if overstretched during install. Lubricate the rod with WD-40 before sliding it through the spring coils.
• Compatibility note: Will not work on 21" or 24" decks, or on non-Recycler Toro models like Super Recycler or Personal Pace.

Should You Buy It

If you own a 22" Toro Recycler from 2009–2015 and your original chute or spring is broken, this is a budget-friendly direct-fit replacement. For older or newer models, or if you want guaranteed OEM paint match, stick with genuine Toro parts.
