MTD Replacement Part Grass Bag

What It Is

The MTD Replacement Part Grass Bag is an OEM catcher designed to collect clippings during mowing. It fits select MTD-branded lawn tractors and zero-turn mowers, typically for 42-inch to 54-inch decks.

Fitment & Compatibility

Check your mower’s model number (found under the seat or on the frame) against MTD’s parts lookup. This bag is not universal—it pairs only with specific MTD bagger mounting frames (e.g., 490-240-0005 or 490-240-0006). Measure the bag’s dimensions: roughly 24" x 18" x 10". Verify your deck size and bagger attachment style (hook-and-loop or pin-mount). OEM part number is typically 490-240-0007 or equivalent; aftermarket copies may differ in fit. Confirm your mower brand: Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, or Yard-Man models often share MTD platforms.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Heavy-duty polyester fabric with a reinforced bottom and zipper closure. Holds up to standard use but not commercial-grade abuse.
• Installation: Simple—snaps or hooks onto existing bagger frame. No tools required, but ensure the frame is clean and undamaged.
• Common gotchas: The bag may not seal perfectly on older frames with bent hooks. Check for worn zippers or torn seams on arrival. It’s a direct OEM replacement, so no adapter needed if your mower originally used this part.
• Capacity: Holds about 2–3 bushels; overfilling can cause clogging at the chute.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you need a direct OEM replacement for a worn or torn MTD grass bag and your mower’s bagger frame is intact. It’s a reliable, no-hassle fix for homeowners with compatible MTD tractors, but skip it if you have an off-brand mower or a non-MTD frame—measure first to avoid returns.
