596163 Vacuum Hose for John Deere D125 D130 D140 D160 D170 Lawn Mower Tractor Replaces 593998 797408 6pcs

What It Is

This is a 6-piece vacuum hose kit designed to connect the mower deck to the bagger or discharge chute on select John Deere lawn tractors. It replaces OEM part numbers 593998 and 797408, and is intended for use with side-discharge or bagging setups.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your mower model: this kit fits John Deere D125, D130, D140, D160, and D170 tractors. It does not fit D100, D105, or D110 models. Check your deck size—this hose is for 42-inch or 48-inch decks, but measure the existing hose diameter (typically 4-5 inches) to ensure it matches. If your current hose has a different end shape or clamp type, this aftermarket kit may require minor trimming or adapter use. It replaces OEM parts 593998 and 797408, but is not a direct OEM John Deere part—fitment may vary slightly.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: User reviews (4.6/5) note it’s durable and flexible, but some report thinner plastic than OEM—handle carefully during installation to avoid cracking.
• Installation: Simple, no special tools needed. Slide onto deck outlet and bagger inlet, then secure with the included clamps. Trimming may be required for a snug fit on some decks.
• Common gotcha: The kit includes 6 pieces (likely multiple hose sections or clamps), but check that all parts are present before starting. Missing pieces are rare but possible.
• Longevity: With proper care, this hose lasts 1-2 seasons. UV exposure can cause brittleness over time—store indoors if possible.

Should You Buy It

If you have a D125–D170 series tractor with a 42- or 48-inch deck and need a budget-friendly replacement for a worn or cracked vacuum hose, this kit is a solid pick. It’s easy to install and widely reviewed as reliable, but if you prefer exact OEM fitment with no trimming, buy the genuine John Deere part instead.
