Replacmentparts Left Hand Bagger Support Cover Compatible with Riding Lawn Mowers Double Bagger 42-46 inch Deck LTX1045 LTX1046 LTX1042 LTX1040 LTX1046VT XT1 LT46 and 50" Cub Cadet OEM 731-12350B

What It Is

This is the left-hand bagger support cover for riding lawn mowers equipped with a double-bagger system (42–46-inch decks). It secures and protects the bagger mounting hardware on the left side of the mower, preventing debris buildup and ensuring the bagger stays aligned during operation.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify these three things:

• Deck size: Fits 42-, 46-, and 50-inch decks. Measure your deck width from spindle to spindle.
• Model/brand: Compatible with Cub Cadet LTX1040, LTX1042, LTX1045, LTX1046, LTX1046VT, XT1 LT46, and 50" Cub Cadet models. Also fits some Craftsman, MTD, and Troy-Bilt double-bagger setups using OEM part 731-12350B.
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is a direct OEM replacement. Check your existing cover for cracks or broken mounting tabs—if it’s warped, the new one will bolt on with the same hardware (no extra parts needed).

Pro tip: Remove the old cover first and compare the mounting hole pattern. Some aftermarket versions may have slightly different tab spacing.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Injection-molded plastic, same as OEM. Holds up to UV and impact, but avoid overtightening bolts—stripped tabs are the most common failure point.
• Installation difficulty: Easy (10–15 minutes). Requires a socket or nut driver to remove two bolts and slide the old cover off. No special tools.
• Common gotcha: The left-hand cover is not the same as the right-hand one—they are mirrored. This listing is specifically for the left side. Double-check your bagger setup before ordering.
• Fit note: Works with both single-bag and twin-bag conversions on 42–46" decks, but not with 54" or wider decks.

Should You Buy It

If your left bagger support cover is cracked, missing, or won’t hold the bagger arm in place, this is a direct, hassle-free replacement. It’s priced fairly for OEM quality and installs without modifications. Best for owners of Cub Cadet LTX or XT1 series mowers with 42–46" decks who want a durable fix that matches factory specs.
