764-05082 Bagger Flex Hose, 8" x 55" Extra Long Grass Catcher Hose Compatible with Cub Cadet MTD RZT Riding Mower 36" 42" 46" 50" 54" Deck, Rear Fast Double/Twin Bagger Tube 76405082

What It Is

This is a replacement flex hose for the grass collection system on Cub Cadet and MTD RZT zero-turn riding mowers. It connects the rear discharge deck to the twin bagger assembly, routing clippings from the mower deck into the catcher bags. The 8-inch diameter and 55-inch extra-long length are designed for larger deck sizes and tight routing paths on 36" to 54" mowers.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your mower uses a rear discharge deck with a twin bagger system (not side-discharge or mulching). This hose fits Cub Cadet RZT models with 36", 42", 46", 50", and 54" decks, plus some MTD and Troy-Bilt equivalents. The OEM part number is 764-05082 (also listed as 76405082). Measure the old hose: it should be roughly 8 inches in diameter and 55 inches long. Check that your bagger has a 4-inch or 5-inch quick-connect cuff on the deck side—this hose uses a clamp, not a twist-lock. Verify your mower’s model number against Cub Cadet’s online parts list; common compatible models include RZT 42, RZT 50, and RZT 54 (check year too, as 2010+ models may differ).

Key Things to Do

• Check deck discharge orientation: This hose is for rear-discharge decks only. If your mower has a side-discharge or mulch plug, it won’t work.
• Measure existing hose length: The 55-inch length is extra long—if your original is shorter (e.g., 48 inches), this may be too long and require trimming or cause sagging.
• Inspect cuffs and clamps: The hose attaches with standard hose clamps (not included). If your bagger uses plastic quick-connects or a different cuff size, you’ll need adapters.
• Quality note: Some users report thinner material than OEM—expect it to be slightly less durable than the original Cub Cadet hose, but functional for seasonal use.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you need a direct replacement for a worn or torn original hose on a Cub Cadet RZT twin bagger with a rear-discharge deck. It’s a good value for the price if you’re comfortable with basic clamp installation and don’t mind slightly thinner rubber. Avoid it if your mower uses a side-discharge bagger, a single bag system, or if you need a shorter hose—measure first to avoid a poor fit.
