532160793 Bagger Latch Straps and Hardware for MTD/Husqvarna/Oregon/Poulan/Roper/Sears/Craftsman/Weed Eater/AYP Lawn Tractors, Replaces 160793 532130760 130758 42-555 for 42" (2 Pack)

What It Is

This 2-pack of bagger latch straps (part 532160793) secures your lawn tractor’s grass collection bag to the mower deck discharge chute. Designed for 42-inch deck MTD, Husqvarna, Oregon, Poulan, Roper, Sears, Craftsman, Weed Eater, and AYP lawn tractors, they replace worn or broken OEM straps to keep the bagger locked in place during mowing.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm three things:

1. Deck size: These straps are specifically for 42-inch decks. They will not fit 46-inch or larger decks without modification.
2. Original part numbers: They replace OEM straps labeled 532160793, 532130760, 130758, and 42-555. Check your old strap’s part number or measure the length (roughly 8–9 inches end-to-end).
3. Brands: Works on most MTD-built tractors (Craftsman, Huskee, Yard-Man) and Husqvarna/Weed Eater/AYP models with a 42-inch bagger. Not universal—verify your bagger mounting clip style matches the strap’s hook end.

If your tractor’s bagger uses a different clip or latch design (e.g., pin-style or spring-loaded), these won’t fit.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: These are aftermarket straps. Some users report thinner plastic than OEM, so they may wear faster under heavy leaf mulching. Fine for regular grass clippings.
• Installation: Tool-free—just unhook the old strap, snap the new one onto the bagger’s latch pin, and hook the other end to the deck chute. Takes under 2 minutes per strap.
• Common gotcha: The hook end can pop loose if the bagger isn’t fully seated against the chute. Make sure the bag is snug before latching.
• Pack of 2: You get two straps, but most tractors only need one. Keep the spare for when the first one breaks or use it on a second bagger.

Should You Buy It

If you’ve got a 42-inch deck MTD/Husqvarna tractor with a worn or broken bagger latch strap, this is a cheap, quick fix. It won’t outlast OEM parts, but at $6.99 for a 2-pack, it’s fine for occasional bagging. Skip it if you need a heavy-duty strap for commercial use or a different deck size.
