HQPASFY 137-7046 Deflector Chute Compatible with Exmark Quest E-Series 42", Toro TimeCutter 42'' Mowers, Including 4200 4200C SS4200, 74665,74667 Models, Side Discharge Chute with Mounting Hardware

What It Is

This is a side discharge deflector chute—the plastic flap that routes grass clippings away from the mower deck and operator. Designed for Exmark Quest E-Series 42" and Toro TimeCutter 42" mowers (models 4200, 4200C, SS4200, 74665, 74667), it replaces a broken or missing OEM chute.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Deck size must be 42" – measure your deck width (cutting width) before ordering. This chute will not fit 44", 50", or 60" decks.
• Model check: Works on Toro TimeCutter 4200, 4200C, SS4200, 74665, 74667. Also fits Exmark Quest E-Series 42" (check your serial number against Exmark’s compatibility list).
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is an aftermarket part, not genuine Toro/Exmark. It includes mounting hardware (bolts, nuts, washers) but verify your existing mounting holes align—some users report needing to slightly enlarge or adjust holes.
• Measurement check: Overall chute length ~12", width ~5.5". Compare to your old chute’s mounting bracket spacing (center-to-center holes ~3.5").

Key Things to Know

• Material quality: Polypropylene plastic—stiffer than OEM, but less likely to crack from UV exposure. Some users note it’s slightly thinner than factory parts.
• Installation difficulty: Easy (15 minutes). Remove old chute, bolt on new one. No special tools needed beyond a socket set. May require minor hole reaming if alignment is off.
• Common gotcha: The chute may sit slightly higher or lower than OEM, affecting grass flow. If you notice clogging, adjust the mounting angle or trim the chute lip with a utility knife.
• Hardware included: Yes, but it’s generic zinc-plated steel. Replace with stainless if you mow in wet conditions to avoid rust.

Should You Buy It

If your OEM chute is cracked or missing and you want a quick, cheap fix that works, this is a solid choice. Not ideal if you need a perfect OEM fit or premium UV resistance—go genuine Toro/Exmark for that. Best for DIY owners with a 42" TimeCutter or Quest who want to spend under $40.
