What It Is

This is the foam or rubber top seal for the grass bagger chute on select Craftsman, Husqvarna, Poulan Pro, and AYP lawn tractors. It prevents grass clippings from blowing back out of the bagger opening, improving collection efficiency and reducing cleanup.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, check these three things:

• Model number: Verify your mower’s model number (starts with “917.” or similar) against the list: 917.249040, 968999515, 966529102. This is the most reliable compatibility check.
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is an aftermarket replacement for OEM part 532192550. It should match the original dimensions (roughly 1/2" thick, 3/4" wide, 10-12" long curved strip), but measure your old seal’s length and curvature to confirm.
• Deck size: Works with most 42-54" decks that use a bagger chute—no specific deck size limit, but the chute opening must match the seal’s curve. If your bagger uses a rigid plastic chute with a foam seal, this fits.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Made from closed-cell foam or EPDM rubber—holds up better than OEM foam but can still compress over time. Check for cracks or flattening before installation.
• Installation difficulty: Easy—peel off old seal, clean chute surface with alcohol, press new one into groove. No tools needed. Takes 5 minutes.
• Common gotcha: If your bagger chute has a metal or plastic lip instead of a groove, this seal won’t stay in place. It’s designed for a recessed channel. Also, verify your bagger uses a top seal (some use a full gasket around the chute opening).
• Price: At ~$9, it’s a cheap fix—replacing a worn seal often restores bagging performance without buying a whole new bagger.

Should You Buy It

Yes, if your bagger chute has a recessed groove and you’re seeing grass blowback or poor bag fill. It’s a simple, low-cost replacement that solves a common issue. Avoid if your chute uses a different sealing method (e.g., rubber flap or full gasket).
