764-05082 Bagger Flex Hose Replacement Fit for Mtd Cub Cadet Rzt Riding Mower 36" 42" 46" 50" 54" Double/Triple Bagger lawn Rear Fast Double Bagger

What It Is

This is a replacement flex hose for the discharge chute on Cub Cadet and MTD RZT riding mowers, designed to connect the mower deck to a rear-mounted double or triple bagger system. It channels grass clippings from the deck into the bagger.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your mower has a rear-mounted double bagger (not a side-discharge or mulching setup). This hose fits Cub Cadet RZT models with 36", 42", 46", 50", or 54" decks, and is also compatible with select MTD, Troy-Bilt, and Yard-Man riding mowers using the same bagger system. Measure your original hose’s inner diameter and length—this replacement is typically 4" in diameter and about 18" long. It replaces OEM part 764-05082, but aftermarket fit may vary slightly on older or non-Cub models, so compare the mounting flange shape and clamp positions.

Key Things to Know

• Material quality: Some users report the hose is thinner than OEM, which can lead to cracking or collapsing under heavy use, especially in hot weather or with wet grass.
• Easy installation: No special tools required—just remove the old hose clamps, slide the new hose on, and re-tighten. Expect 5–10 minutes.
• Common gotcha: The hose may be slightly longer or shorter than original, requiring trimming or repositioning of deck brackets for a snug seal. Check clearance with the deck lift linkage.
• Performance note: If your bagger has a separate blower, this hose works fine. For vacuum-assist systems, ensure the hose doesn’t kink when the deck is raised.

Should You Buy It

If your original hose has cracked, split, or lost its seal and you need a quick, low-cost fix for your Cub Cadet RZT double bagger, this is a decent option. However, if you mow thick, wet grass or want maximum durability, consider spending more for an OEM replacement—this aftermarket hose may wear out faster.
