MTD 19A70060GFP Lawn Striping Kit 42" 50" 54" Stamped Deck for Troy-Bilt Craftsman Columbia Mustang XP Z560 42 Z54 Z42

What It Is

The MTD 19A70060GFP is a factory OEM striping kit designed for 42", 50", and 54" stamped-steel decks on select Troy-Bilt, Craftsman, Columbia, and Mustang XP zero-turn mowers. It creates professional-looking lawn stripes by rolling grass flat behind the mower deck.

Fitment & Compatibility

This kit fits stamped (fabricated) decks only—not fabricated or welded decks with smooth undersides. Check your deck’s part number and measure the cutting width: it works with 42", 50", and 54" stamped decks. Compatible models include Troy-Bilt Mustang XP Z560 42, Z54, Z42, and Craftsman/Columbia ZT series with matching stamped decks. Verify your mower’s model number against MTD’s OEM parts list or call a dealer with your serial number. The kit includes mounting brackets, rollers, and hardware—no aftermarket adapters needed.

Key Things to Know

• Installation difficulty: Moderate. Requires basic tools (wrenches, socket set) and about 1–2 hours. You’ll drill into the deck for mounting brackets—measure twice, drill once.
• Deck clearance: Rollers add about 2–3 inches below the deck. Ensure your mower has enough ground clearance for uneven terrain or tall grass without dragging.
• Stripe quality: Works best on dry, mature grass. Wet or very tall grass reduces stripe definition. Rollers are solid rubber—no maintenance needed.
• OEM vs. aftermarket: This is a genuine MTD part, so fitment is guaranteed for listed models. Aftermarket kits may be cheaper but often lack precise bracket alignment.

Should You Buy It

If you own a compatible Troy-Bilt, Craftsman, or Columbia zero-turn with a stamped deck and want factory-grade stripes without modifying the deck or buying a universal kit, this is a direct, bolt-on solution. It’s a premium price for a niche accessory—skip it if you mow rough terrain or don’t care about lawn aesthetics.
