Yoursme 592866501 Bagger Attachment Lower Chute for Husqvarna Craftsman 42" Mower, Lawn Tractor Lower Bagger Chute Replace for C342B C42C QC342A QC42A QC42B QCT342 Grass Catchers

What It Is

The Yoursme 592866501 is an aftermarket lower bagger chute that connects your mower deck’s discharge opening to the grass catcher bags, directing clippings into the collection system. It’s designed for Husqvarna and Craftsman 42-inch lawn tractors with compatible bagger systems.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Deck size: Only fits 42-inch cutting decks. Measure your deck width before ordering.
• Model fit: Replaces OEM part 592866501. Compatible with Husqvarna C342B, C42C, QC342A, QC42A, QC42B, QCT342, and Craftsman models using those same bagger systems.
• Check your bagger: This is the lower chute—verify your tractor has the upper chute and bagger frame already installed. If you’re missing those, this part alone won’t complete the system.
• Physical dimensions: Approximately 10 x 7 x 5 inches. Measure your existing chute opening to confirm fit, as aftermarket tolerances can vary slightly.

Key Things to Know

• Material: Hard plastic (polyethylene). It’s durable but can crack if overtightened or exposed to freezing temps—hand-tighten bolts only.
• Installation: Simple bolt-on job (two bolts, no special tools). Usually takes 10–15 minutes. Clearance between chute and deck belt is tight; ensure the belt doesn’t rub after mounting.
• Seal: Some users report a gap at the deck connection. A strip of foam weatherstripping on the mating edge can improve suction and reduce blowout.
• Warranty: No manufacturer warranty mentioned—treat as a budget replacement. If your OEM chute is still functional, repairing it may be more reliable.

Should You Buy It

This is a good low-cost fix if your original chute is cracked or missing and you already have the rest of the bagger system. It’s not for upgrading performance or switching brands—just a direct replacement. If you need a perfect seal or long-term durability, the OEM Husqvarna/Craftsman part (usually $90–$110) is a safer bet.
