deawater 1set 112-3951 Deflector/Discharge Chute for Toro TIMECUTTER 42" Mowers W/Hardware

What It Is

This is a replacement deflector/discharge chute for Toro TimeCutter 42" zero-turn mowers. It directs grass clippings out the side of the deck during cutting and folds up for storage or bagging.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Deck size: Only fits 42" Toro TimeCutter decks (models with 42" fabricated deck). Not compatible with 50" or 60" decks.
• OEM part number: Replaces Toro 112-3951. This is an aftermarket set, not genuine Toro.
• Models confirmed fit: TimeCutter models SS4225, SS4235, MX4250, MX4260 (check your model number on the deck or under the seat).
• Check before buying: Measure the mounting bracket spacing (center-to-center, typically ~5.5") and verify your deck has two holes for the hinge pins. Some older TimeCutters use a different chute design.
• Hardware included: Yes—pins, springs, and fasteners are in the set.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Mixed reviews—some report the plastic is slightly thinner than OEM; others say it holds up fine for normal residential use.
• Installation: Easy bolt-on job (10 minutes) with basic hand tools. Watch for spring tension when attaching—use gloves to avoid pinching.
• Common gotcha: The hinge holes may not align perfectly on all decks. If drilling new holes is required, this set won’t work without modification.
• Durability: The plastic can crack if hit hard against curbs or rocks. Not recommended for commercial use.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you need a budget-friendly replacement for a worn or broken OEM chute on a residential 42" Toro TimeCutter and are comfortable with minor fit adjustments. Skip it if you want guaranteed OEM durability or have a different deck size.
