Bent Attachment, 5 Inch Cutting Width, Lawn Mower Part, Chute

What It Is

This is a 5-inch wide bent discharge chute for lawn mowers, designed to direct grass clippings away from the cutting deck. It’s typically used on walk-behind mowers with side-discharge decks, especially where a compact, low-profile chute is needed to avoid hitting obstacles.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Deck size: Designed for mower decks with a 5-inch discharge opening. Measure your deck’s chute mounting width (inside edge to inside edge) to confirm.
• Brand/model: Listed as “Bent” brand—likely a universal or aftermarket part. Check if your mower uses a straight or angled chute; this is a bent design, so it won’t fit straight-chute models.
• OEM vs aftermarket: Not an OEM part for major brands (John Deere, Toro, Honda, etc.). Verify mounting hole pattern and bolt spacing (common sizes: 3–4 inches center-to-center). If your mower uses a spring clip or tab system, this may not work.
• Measurements: Chute width is 5 inches; overall length and bend angle aren’t listed. Compare with your old chute’s shape to ensure it clears the wheel and deck.

Key Things to Know

• Installation difficulty: Easy—usually bolts directly onto the deck with two screws or bolts. No special tools needed.
• Quality: Single 5-star review suggests good fit for one user, but no long-term durability data. Plastic may be brittle in cold weather; check for UV resistance.
• Common gotcha: The 5-inch width is the cutting width, not the mounting width. Measure your discharge opening before buying—some decks use 4.5-inch or 6-inch openings.
• Compatibility risk: Since it’s not OEM, the bend angle may not match your mower’s deck contour. If it’s too steep, clippings may clog; too shallow, they may hit the wheel.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you need a cheap, compact replacement chute for a generic or older mower with a 5-inch discharge opening, and you’re willing to test fitment. Skip it if you require exact OEM match, have a deck with a non-standard mounting pattern, or want a heavy-duty chute for frequent use.
