What It Is

The 110-6682 Discharge Cover is a replacement metal deflector shield for Toro TimeCutter zero-turn mowers. It mounts at the side-discharge opening of the deck to redirect grass clippings downward and away from the operator, and is required for safe operation (mowers won’t start without it properly installed).

Fitment & Compatibility

Check your deck model number – this cover fits Toro TimeCutter decks with the following stamped part numbers: 74386, 74389, 74655, 74656, 74657, 74675, 79018, 79176, and 79311. These are typically 42-inch, 50-inch, and 54-inch fabricated decks on TimeCutter SS, SW, and ZS models.

OEM vs aftermarket – This is a genuine Toro OEM part, not a third-party copy. It matches the original factory fit exactly. If your original cover is bent or rusted, this will bolt on without modification.

What to measure – Before buying, confirm the mounting hole spacing on your deck (center-to-center) is roughly 6.5 inches. Also verify that your deck has the standard side-discharge chute hinge bracket – some aftermarket decks or older models may use a different attachment.

Not compatible with Toro Titan, Z-Master, or other non-TimeCutter series.

Key Things to Know

• Installation is straightforward – Remove the old cover, align the new one with the hinge bracket, and secure with the original hardware (two bolts, lock washers, and a cotter pin). No special tools needed.
• The 3.6 rating reflects minor fit complaints – Some users report the hinge holes are slightly tight and require reaming or filing. Expect to spend 10–15 minutes adjusting.
• Check the hinge spring – If your original spring is weak or broken, you may need to buy a replacement spring separately (part 110-6683). The cover alone doesn’t include it.
• Safety interlock – On most TimeCutter models, the mower won’t start if the discharge cover is missing or not fully closed. This is a mandatory part, not optional.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you need a direct OEM replacement for a damaged or missing discharge cover on a Toro TimeCutter with one of the listed deck models. It’s the correct fit and will restore safe operation and starting function. If your hinge spring is also worn, order it at the same time to avoid a second trip. Avoid it if you’re looking for a universal or cheaper aftermarket option – this is a specific, fit-critical part.
