What It Is

The 137-7046 deflector chute is a replacement discharge chute for Toro TIMECUTTER 42" zero-turn mowers. It redirects grass clippings away from the mower deck and operator, essential for safe and even side-discharge mowing.

Fitment & Compatibility

This chute fits Toro TIMECUTTER 42" models with 42-inch decks, including ZS4200S, 74705, 74706, 74726, 75742, 75748, 75749, 74665, 74667, 74677, 74711, 74726TA, 75742TA, and 75742W. Before buying, verify your mower’s model number (stamped on the frame or under the seat) and that your deck is 42 inches. This is an aftermarket replacement for OEM part 137-7046; it is not a genuine Toro part but claims direct fit. Measure the chute mounting holes (center-to-center) to confirm they match your deck’s bracket—common spacing is about 4.5 inches. It does not fit 50", 60", or other deck sizes.

Key Things to Know

• Build quality: Aftermarket plastic may be slightly thinner than OEM; check for flex or cracking under heavy use. Reviews note it works but may not last as long as genuine Toro.
• Installation: Typically bolts on with two pins or bolts—no special tools required. Expect 10-15 minutes. Ensure the chute clears the deck and doesn’t rub against blades.
• Common gotcha: The chute may come unpainted or with a rough finish; clean and test fit before final tightening. Some users report needing to trim plastic edges for perfect alignment.
• Spring/hardware: This part usually includes the chute only; you may need to reuse the spring and mounting hardware from your old chute. Check if yours is missing or damaged.

Should You Buy It

If your OEM chute is cracked, broken, or missing and you want a budget-friendly fix, this replacement is a solid choice for occasional mowing. For heavy commercial use or if you need exact OEM durability, consider the genuine Toro part instead.
