Dixie Chopper Genuine Striping Stand On Kit for Blackhawk, Eagle Hp Lawn Mowers / 902985

What It Is

This is a Dixie Chopper genuine OEM striping kit (part #902985) designed to add professional-looking lawn stripes to your yard. It mounts onto the rear of the mower deck and uses weighted rollers to bend grass in opposite directions as you mow. Intended for residential or commercial use on Dixie Chopper Blackhawk and Eagle HP models.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Deck size: Fits 60-inch and 72-inch decks only. Measure your deck width to confirm.
• Model fit: Compatible with Dixie Chopper Blackhawk (all years) and Eagle HP (all years). Not for other Dixie Chopper series like Silver Eagle, Xcaliber, or Classic.
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is a genuine Dixie Chopper part, so no fitment guesswork—it’s designed to bolt directly to factory deck mounts.
• Check before buying: Verify your mower has the rear deck mounting holes (two on each side) and that the deck isn’t obstructed by aftermarket attachments like a grass catcher or mulching kit. Measure clearance between deck and rear tires—rollers need about 4 inches of space.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Heavy-duty steel construction with powder-coat finish—holds up to daily commercial use. Rollers are urethane, not plastic, so they won’t crack in sun or cold.
• Installation: Moderate difficulty. You’ll need a socket set, torque wrench, and about 45–60 minutes. No cutting or drilling required, but you must lift the mower or use ramps to access the deck underside.
• Common gotchas: The kit adds roughly 15 lbs to the deck, which can reduce ground clearance on uneven terrain. Also, the rollers can drag on wet grass, causing clumping—only use on dry turf for best results.
• Maintenance: Rollers are non-serviceable; replace them as a unit if they wear out (typically after 2–3 seasons of heavy use). Clean debris from the roller axles after each mow to prevent binding.

Should You Buy It

If you own a Blackhawk or Eagle HP with a 60- or 72-inch deck and want crisp, professional stripes without aftermarket guesswork, this is the right choice. It’s built to last and installs cleanly, but it’s not for smaller decks or other Dixie models. Skip it if you mow wet grass frequently or need to keep deck weight minimal for hills.
