532160793 Bagger Latch Straps with Hook (6 Sets of) - Compatible with MTD/Craftsman/Husqvarna/Poulan Lawn Tractors, Replaces 532160793 160793 42-555 for 42" & 46" Decks

What It Is

These are replacement latch straps with hooks that secure your grass collection bagger to the mower deck. They’re designed for MTD, Craftsman, Husqvarna, and Poulan lawn tractors with 42" or 46" cutting decks, commonly used in residential mowing.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Deck size: Only for 42" and 46" decks. Measure your deck width (blade tip to tip) to confirm.
• Brand/model: Fits most MTD-built tractors under Craftsman, Husqvarna, Poulan, and Yard Machines brands. Check your mower’s model number (usually under seat or on frame) against OEM part 532160793.
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is a direct replacement for OEM part 532160793 (also 160793, 42-555). It’s not OEM, but dimensions match standard MTD bagger latch points.
• Measurement: Each strap is about 8" long with a hook end. Compare to your old strap—if yours is shorter or has a different hook shape, it won’t fit.

Key Things to Know

• Installation: Simple—hook onto bagger frame and latch onto deck bracket. No tools needed, but ensure the hook fully seats to avoid straps popping off during use.
• Durability: Nylon straps with metal hooks hold up well, but hooks can bend if you force them onto a misaligned bracket. Check bracket condition first.
• Common gotcha: These only work with MTD-style baggers (common on tractors from ~2005 onward). Older or non-MTD baggers may have different latch spacing.
• Pack includes 6 sets: You get 6 straps and 6 hooks, enough for dual-bag or large bagger systems. Spares are handy for future replacements.

Should You Buy It

If your original straps are cracked, broken, or missing, these are a cheap, direct fix for most MTD-based tractors with 42" or 46" decks. Avoid if your bagger uses a different latch style (e.g., pin-and-clip) or if your brackets are damaged—those need separate repair.
