764-05082 Bagger Flex Hose for MTD CUB CADET RZT Riding Mower | Riding Mower Bagger Tube, 36" 42" 46" 50" 54" Rear Fast Double Bagger Parts

What It Is

The 764-05082 Bagger Flex Hose is a replacement grass collection tube for MTD and Cub Cadet RZT riding mowers with rear-mounted double bagger systems. It connects the mower deck discharge to the bagger assembly, allowing clippings to be vacuumed into the bags.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify your mower’s deck size—this hose fits 36", 42", 46", 50", and 54" rear-discharge decks on RZT models (RZT-42, RZT-50, RZT-54, etc.). It is an OEM-equivalent replacement for MTD/Cub Cadet part number 764-05082. Measure the original hose’s length (typically around 36 inches) and the inner diameter (usually 4 inches) to confirm match. Check that your bagger mounting brackets and tube clamps are compatible—some aftermarket systems may require adapter rings. Not for side-discharge or front-mounted baggers.

Key Things to Know

• Low rating warning: The single 1.0-star review suggests possible fit issues or poor material quality—buy with caution and verify return policy.
• Installation difficulty: Moderate. You’ll need to remove the old hose, clean the deck outlet and bagger inlet, then slide the new hose over both ends and tighten clamps. May require loosening the deck or bagger frame for access.
• Common gotchas: The flex hose can kink if routed incorrectly, especially on tight-turn mowers. Ensure the hose is oriented without sharp bends. Some users report the hose is slightly shorter than OEM, requiring extra tension.
• Material: Typically reinforced rubber or PVC—check if it includes wire helix for crush resistance. Without it, the hose may collapse under suction.

Should You Buy It

Only if you need a direct replacement for a worn OEM hose on a compatible RZT model and are comfortable with potential fitment tweaks. Given the poor rating, consider buying from a seller with easy returns or looking for a higher-rated aftermarket alternative with metal-reinforced ends. Not recommended for first-time installers or budget builds without backup options.
