Set of 2 Tractor Bagger/Hood Latch 109808X,532109808X fits Craftsman Husqvarna W/Hardware

What It Is

This is a set of two replacement latches (OEM part #109808X / 532109808X) that secure the grass bagger or hood to the mower deck on certain Craftsman and Husqvarna riding lawn tractors. Designed for bagger attachment systems where the original plastic or metal latches have broken or worn out.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, check your tractor’s model number (stamped under the seat or on the frame). This latch fits many Craftsman LT1000/2000/3000 series and Husqvarna YTH/YTA models with 42-inch or 46-inch decks that use the OEM bagger system. It is not universal—measure the existing latch hole spacing (center-to-center is roughly 2.5 inches) and confirm the latch hook shape matches your bagger frame. Aftermarket latches may have slightly different plastic thickness; OEM versions (marked 532109808X) are preferred for exact fit. Avoid assuming it works with non-Craftsman/Husqvarna brands like John Deere or MTD.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: The plastic is durable but can become brittle in extreme cold or UV exposure. Expect 2–3 seasons of regular use before potential cracking.
• Installation: Easy—usually requires removing a single bolt per latch and swapping in the new one with included hardware. No special tools needed.
• Common gotcha: The latch spring tension can be stiff initially; pre-bend the spring slightly with pliers for easier engagement.
• Hardware included: Two latches plus bolts, nuts, and washers—verify you have the right size (usually 1/4" bolts) for your bagger bracket.

Should You Buy It

If your Craftsman or Husqvarna tractor’s bagger latch is broken or won’t hold the hood securely, this is a cheap, direct replacement that saves buying a whole new bagger system. Ideal for DIY owners who want a quick fix without modifying brackets. Not for tractors with non-OEM baggers or different latch designs.
