120-6241 Trailing Shield for Toro 30" Timemaster Lawn Mower

What It Is

The 120-6241 Trailing Shield is a rear rubber flap for Toro 30" TimeMaster lawn mowers. It sits behind the deck to block debris from being thrown backward toward the operator or bystanders.

Fitment & Compatibility

This is an OEM Toro part, designed specifically for 30" TimeMaster models (e.g., 20067, 20069, 20239, 20240). Do not assume it fits other Toro decks – check your mower’s model number on the deck or frame sticker. Measure the shield’s mounting width: it should be about 30 inches across. If your existing shield is worn, split, or missing, this is the direct replacement. Aftermarket alternatives exist but often have thinner rubber or slightly different hole spacing.

Key Things to Know

• Quality concerns – The 2.4-star rating reflects reports of premature cracking or tearing, especially in hot weather or on rough terrain. Some users say it lasts only one season.
• Easy installation – Typically just 4 bolts/nuts (use a 3/8" socket). No special tools needed, but you may need to remove the blade or belt guard for access on some models.
• Check bolt condition – If your old shield rusted, the bolts may be seized. Have replacements handy (Toro part 321-4 or generic 1/4"-20 x 3/4" bolts).
• Not a mulching accessory – This is strictly a safety/splash guard. It won’t improve cut quality or bagging performance.

Should You Buy It

If your TimeMaster’s trailing shield is damaged or missing, buy this OEM part for guaranteed fit – but expect to replace it annually if you mow often. For a longer-lasting option, consider a thicker aftermarket universal flap and cut it to size.
