HECASA 46" Bagger Chute for Grass Catcher Lawn Mower Riding Mower Lower Chute Deck Grass Catcher Compatible with Craftsman Replacement for 405455, 532405455 ABS Plastic

What It Is

This is a lower chute deck assembly for a 46-inch riding mower bagger system, designed to replace the OEM Craftsman part 405455/532405455. It connects the mower deck discharge to the grass catcher, directing clippings into the bagger.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Deck size: Only fits 46-inch cutting decks. Measure your deck width to confirm.
• Brand/model: Compatible with many Craftsman, Husqvarna, and Poulan Pro models that use the OEM 405455/532405455 chute. Check your mower’s model number against the OEM part list.
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is an aftermarket ABS plastic replacement. It should match the mounting holes and shape of the original, but fitment may vary slightly on older or non-standard decks.
• Measurements: The chute is about 12 inches long and 4 inches wide at the deck connection. Ensure your bagger mounting bracket and deck discharge opening are similar dimensions.

Key Things to Know

• Material: ABS plastic is durable but can crack if overtightened or exposed to extreme cold. Avoid over-torquing bolts.
• Installation: Typically a 10-15 minute job—remove old chute, clean deck area, and bolt on new one. No special tools required.
• Common gotchas: The chute may not seal perfectly with all bagger frames, leading to clippings escaping. Some users report needing to trim or shim for a tight fit.
• Rating context: 3.6 stars with only 7 reviews—limited feedback. Check recent reviews for fitment updates on your specific model.

Should You Buy It

If you need a quick, affordable replacement for a cracked or missing OEM chute on a 46-inch Craftsman or compatible mower, this will likely work. But if you want guaranteed fit and durability, consider an OEM part—especially for older or heavily used machines where mounting points may be worn.
