532444501 Rear Skirt Compatible with Husqvarna Skirt Rear 22 Plus Mower HD675AWD HU700H HU700L HU725AWD HU800AWD. Replaces 444501

What It Is

This is the rear skirt (or rear drag shield) for Husqvarna 22-inch walk-behind mowers, including AWD and Honda-powered models. It seals the back of the deck to improve mulching and bagging performance by containing clippings and reducing scatter.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Deck size: Only fits 22-inch cutting decks. Measure your deck width before ordering.
• Models confirmed: Husqvarna HD675AWD, HU700H, HU700L, HU725AWD, HU800AWD. Also fits some 22 Plus models.
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is a direct replacement for OEM part 532444501 / 444501. Not a universal part.
• Check hardware: The skirt uses screws or rivets. You may need new fasteners if the old ones are rusted or stripped.
• Visual match: Compare the shape and mounting holes to your old skirt. The rear edge is curved to match the deck contour.

Key Things to Know

• Easy install: Typically takes 5–10 minutes with a screwdriver or 10mm socket. No special tools.
• Durability: Made from flexible, impact-resistant plastic. Won’t crack as easily as brittle aftermarket skirts.
• Common gotcha: If the deck is bent or the old mounting holes are wallowed out, the new skirt may not seal tightly. Inspect the deck before buying.
• Performance tip: A worn rear skirt is often the reason for poor bagging or clippings blowing forward. Replacing it can restore performance without buying a new deck.

Should You Buy It

If your Husqvarna 22-inch mower’s rear skirt is cracked, torn, or missing, this is the correct, affordable fix. It’s a no-brainer for restoring mulching and bagging quality—skip it only if your deck is damaged or you’re replacing the entire mower.
