631-07619 Side Discharge Deflector Chute Assembly Compatible with CUB C-adet 50/54" XT1 XT2 ZT1 ZT2 Ultima 50 54 SLX54 Lawn Mower

What It Is

This is a replacement side discharge deflector chute assembly designed to direct grass clippings outward and downward during mowing, preventing debris from flying toward the operator or bystanders. It fits select Cub Cadet zero-turn and lawn tractor models with 50-inch or 54-inch decks.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify your mower’s deck size (50" or 54") and model series: XT1, XT2, ZT1, ZT2, Ultima 50/54, or SLX54. This is an aftermarket part, not OEM Cub Cadet, so fitment may vary slightly. Measure the chute mounting bracket width and hole spacing on your existing deflector (typically 2.5–3 inches wide with two bolt holes). Check that the hinge pin diameter matches (usually 1/4 inch). Confirm your deck has a side discharge opening—this part won’t work on mulching-only or bagging-only setups. If your OEM part number is 631-07619, this is a direct replacement.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Made from durable polyethylene plastic, but some users report thinner material than OEM—may crack under heavy use or in cold weather.
• Installation: Simple bolt-on job (requires a 3/8-inch wrench or socket). No drilling or modification needed if holes align. Expect 5–10 minutes.
• Common gotchas: The hinge pin can be tight; lubricate with WD-40 if needed. The chute may not lock into the raised position as securely as OEM—test before mowing. If your deck has a spring assist, ensure it’s compatible (this part typically doesn’t include a spring).
• Warranty: Aftermarket parts usually carry no warranty—check seller policy before buying.

Should You Buy It

If you need a budget-friendly replacement for a broken or missing side discharge chute on a compatible Cub Cadet model, this is a solid choice. However, if you mow commercially or in rocky/abrasive conditions, consider spending more on an OEM part for better durability and fit.
