160793 Bagger Grass Chute Latches for Lawn Mower - Compatible with AYP Husqvarna Craftsman Poulan Lawnmowers - Replaces 130758 532130760 2Sets

What It Is

This is a set of two replacement grass chute latches (part number 160793) designed to secure the grass bagger chute to the mower deck on select AYP, Husqvarna, Craftsman, and Poulan lawn tractors. They replace worn or broken OEM latches to keep the bagger system attached during operation.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify your mower’s model number (stamped under the seat or on the frame). This latch set is compatible with many tractors using 42-inch, 46-inch, and 50-inch decks from AYP (American Yard Products) brands, including Craftsman (917 series), Husqvarna (YTH, GTH, LTH lines), Poulan, and McCulloch. It directly replaces OEM part numbers 130758 and 532130760. Measure the latch slot on your existing chute—these latches are about 2.5 inches long with a standard hook profile. They are aftermarket, not genuine OEM, so fitment on non-AYP decks (e.g., John Deere, MTD) is unlikely.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Made of reinforced plastic; durable for normal use but may be less rigid than OEM metal versions—check for flex under heavy grass loads.
• Installation: Tool-free snap-on design; takes 5 minutes. Align the latch hook with the chute slot and press until it clicks. No drilling or cutting required.
• Common Gotchas: Latches may feel tight initially; lubricate with silicone spray if needed. Ensure the bagger chute is not bent or cracked, or the latches won’t seat properly. The set includes two latches—some mowers use only one, but having a spare is handy.
• Warranty: No brand warranty (aftermarket part); test fit before final assembly.

Should You Buy It

If your Craftsman, Husqvarna, or Poulan lawn tractor’s bagger chute latches are broken or missing, this is a cheap, direct replacement that restores function without hassle. It’s best for owners of AYP-built mowers who want a quick fix and don’t need OEM branding. Skip it if you have a non-AYP deck or prefer metal latches for heavy commercial use.
