Grasshopper Mower Grass Grooming Striping Kit, for V Series-61, Attaches to Rear of Deck to Comb Grass and Enhance The Stripe Effect of The Final Appearance, OEM 504667

What It Is

The Grasshopper Grooming Striping Kit (OEM 504667) is a rear-mounted attachment that combs grass as you mow, creating professional-looking light-and-dark stripes on your lawn. Designed specifically for Grasshopper V Series-61 mowers, it enhances final appearance without affecting cut quality.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Exact fit: Grasshopper V Series-61 decks only (61-inch cutting width). Not compatible with other V Series sizes (52", 72") or non-V Series models.
• Part number: OEM 504667 — this is genuine Grasshopper, not an aftermarket alternative. Confirm your mower’s serial number or deck model before ordering.
• Mounting: Attaches to the rear of the deck using existing bolt holes. Requires no drilling or modification if your deck is pre-drilled for striping kits (most V Series-61 decks are).
• Measure: Ensure your deck’s rear lip is flat and unobstructed by discharge chutes or other accessories. Measure clearance between deck and ground — the kit adds about 2-3 inches rearward.

Key Things to Know

• Installation difficulty: Easy (10-20 minutes). Bolts directly on; no special tools needed. However, some users report misaligned holes — test-fit before tightening.
• Stripe effect: Works best on dry, upright grass. Wet or bent grass reduces the combing action. You may need to mow slower for a pronounced stripe.
• Durability: Steel construction holds up well, but the rubber/plastic comb fingers can wear over time (replaceable separately). Inspect annually for cracking.
• Common gotcha: The kit may interfere with bagging attachments or rear discharge deflectors. Disconnect those first, or expect reduced clearance.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you own a Grasshopper V Series-61 and want show-quality stripes without upgrading your mower. It’s a simple, low-cost add-on that works as intended, though the 3.6-star rating suggests fitment can be finicky — double-check your deck’s hole pattern and clearances before purchasing. Skip it if you mow wet grass frequently or use a bagger.
