532426129 Chute Deflector Compatible with Husqvarna/Craftsman 917 Models Types 22" Lawn Mowers 917370413, 917370415, for Husqvarna HU700F, HU800AWD, HU775BBC, HU775H - Replaces 419942X428 419942X418

What It Is

This is a replacement chute deflector for 22-inch walk-behind lawn mowers, specifically designed to redirect grass clippings and debris away from the operator during side discharge. It fits select Husqvarna and Craftsman 917 series models.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify your mower has a 22-inch cutting deck and matches one of these models: Craftsman 917.370413, 917.370415, or Husqvarna HU700F, HU800AWD, HU775BBC, HU775H. It replaces OEM part numbers 419942X428 and 419942X418. Measure the mounting bracket width (typically 2.5 inches) and check that the pivot hole aligns with your deck’s hinge pin. Not for 21-inch or 20-inch decks—measure your deck width to be sure.

Key Things to Know

• Material: Durable plastic, but can crack if overtightened or dropped on concrete. Hand-tighten only.
• Installation: Tool-free—snaps onto the deck hinge pin. No drilling or modifications needed if fitment matches.
• Common gotcha: The spring tension can be stiff; use pliers to compress the spring if the deflector doesn’t sit flat. Ensure the deflector moves freely after install to avoid clogging.
• Quality note: Aftermarket part, not OEM. Reviews report 90% fit success, but a few users needed to file down the pivot hole slightly for a snug fit.

Should You Buy It

If your original chute deflector is cracked, broken, or missing, and your mower is one of the listed models, this is a solid, budget-friendly replacement. It’s easy to install and does the job for most users. Skip it if you need an exact OEM match or have a non-22-inch deck.
