fascinatte 160793 532160793 Bagger Latch Chute, 2 Pack | Fits 42" & 46" Decks, Compatible with Craftsman Husqvarna Poulan, Includes Mounting Hardware, Durable Rubber

What It Is

This is a replacement bagger latch chute (OEM part 160793 / 532160793) that secures the grass bagging chute to the mower deck. It’s designed for 42" and 46" cutting decks on Craftsman, Husqvarna, and Poulan riding mowers, sold as a 2-pack with mounting hardware.

Fitment & Compatibility

Check before buying:

• Deck size: Fits 42" and 46" decks only. Not for 38", 48", or 54" decks.
• Model fit: Compatible with Craftsman (917 series), Husqvarna (YTH, GT, LT models), and Poulan (PP, PB series). Also fits some AYP/Electrolux-built mowers (e.g., Husqvarna YTH22V46, Craftsman 917.289332).
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is an aftermarket replacement for OEM part 160793 (also 532160793). It’s not identical to OEM, but dimensions match.
• Measurements: Latch chute opening is roughly 2.5" wide x 1.5" tall. Confirm your existing chute’s latch hook engages the same. The included hardware (bolts, nuts) is standard 1/4”-20 size.

How to verify: Look at your current latch chute—if it’s cracked or broken, compare the hook shape and mounting hole spacing. This part replaces the plastic latch that holds the bagger chute onto the deck’s discharge opening.

Key Things to Know

• Durable rubber construction: Made from thick, flexible rubber—holds up better than OEM plastic that often cracks from UV or impact. No more brittle failures.
• Easy install: Takes under 10 minutes. Remove one bolt, swap the old latch, reinstall with included hardware. No special tools needed.
• Common gotcha: The rubber may feel stiffer than OEM at first. If it doesn’t snap into place, warm it in hot water for 30 seconds to soften. Also, ensure the bagger chute is fully seated before latching—forcing can warp the rubber.
• 2-pack value: One spare for future replacement, or use both if your mower has dual bagger chutes (rare, but some 46" decks use two).

Should You Buy It

If your original plastic latch chute is cracked, broken, or won’t hold the bagger chute securely, this is a solid upgrade. The rubber construction outlasts OEM plastic, and the price is lower than a dealer replacement. It’s a quick fix for anyone with a 42" or 46" Craftsman, Husqvarna, or Poulan rider—just double-check your deck size and model series.
