964-05104 964-04090A 964-04096A Grass Bag Assembly, 2 Pack Replacement Bagger Bags w/Hard Bottom Compatible with MTD Troy-Bilt Cub Cadet Craftsman RZT 42" 44" 46" 48" 50" 54" 60", Frame Not Included

What It Is

This is a 2-pack of replacement grass bag assemblies (models 964-05104, 964-04090A, 964-04096A) with hard plastic bottoms for zero-turn and lawn tractors. Designed for 42" to 60" decks from MTD, Troy-Bilt, Cub Cadet, Craftsman, and RZT series. The bags themselves are included; the mounting frame is not.

Fitment & Compatibility

Check three things before purchasing:

1. Deck size: Fits 42", 44", 46", 48", 50", 54", and 60" decks. Measure your deck width—bags are sized to match, so verify yours falls in that range.
2. Brand/model: Works with most MTD-built tractors (Troy-Bilt, Cub Cadet, Craftsman) and RZT zero-turns. Not universal—check your owner’s manual for bag part numbers listed above.
3. Frame: These are bags only. You must already have the metal mounting frame (sold separately). If your frame is missing or broken, this won’t attach. Measure bag hanger hooks (typically 3–4 per bag) to confirm they match your frame slots.

Key Things to Know

• Quality vs OEM: Aftermarket replacements at ~$45 for two—good value. Labels may differ slightly from OEM, but hard bottoms prevent sagging and tearing.
• Installation: Simple swap—unhook old bags, slide new ones onto frame hooks. No tools needed. Takes about 5 minutes.
• Common gotcha: Bag capacity varies by deck size. Larger decks (54"+) fill bags fast—expect more frequent emptying. Check that your frame’s bag support rods are not bent or rusted, or bags may drag.
• Durability: Hard plastic base holds up better than all-fabric bags, but the canvas top can fray if snagged on sharp deck edges. Inspect your frame for burrs before fitting.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you have an MTD-style tractor with a compatible frame and need a cost-effective, durable replacement for worn or torn bags. It’s a solid value for the price, especially for 42"–60" decks, but skip it if your frame is missing or damaged—you’ll need a full assembly.
