Huthbrother (2 Sets of) 532109808 Bagger Latch with Hardware 109808X Hood Latch Compatible with 532109808X AYP Lawn Mower,Craftsman and Husqvarna Riding Mower Baggers.

What It Is

This is a replacement hood latch kit for riding mower bagger systems, specifically designed to secure the bagger hood or cover on Craftsman, Husqvarna, and AYP lawn tractors. It comes as two sets with all necessary hardware.

Fitment & Compatibility

• OEM Reference: Replaces part numbers 532109808, 109808X, and 109808.
• Brand Fit: Works with Craftsman, Husqvarna, and AYP (American Yard Products) riding mowers that use this latch on their bagger assemblies.
• What to Check: Measure the latch slot width and hook depth on your existing bagger hood. Compare to the latch dimensions (approx. 2.5" long hook, 0.75" wide slot). Also verify your bagger model – common on 42" and 48" deck baggers but not universal.
• Aftermarket Note: This is an aftermarket set, not OEM. It fits most but may have slightly thinner plastic than original – inspect for cracks during installation.

Key Things to Know

• Installation: Tool-free – just remove the old latch pin, slide in the new one, and secure with the included hairpin clip. Takes 5 minutes per latch.
• Durability: Plastic construction is adequate for light to moderate use, but the spring tension is lighter than OEM. May not hold as securely under heavy grass load.
• Common Gotcha: The latch hook can pop off if the bagger hood is not fully closed. Always push the hood down until you hear a click.
• Hardware Included: Comes with two latches, two hairpin clips, and two mounting pins. No extra tools required.

Should You Buy It

If your original latch is broken or missing, this is a cheap, functional fix for a Craftsman or Husqvarna bagger. It’s not built for heavy commercial use, but for occasional residential mowing, it does the job at a fraction of OEM cost. Skip if you need a heavy-duty latch for frequent bagging.
