Additional Information

MTD deflector shield 631-04354C replaces part number 631-04354B and helps manage grass clippings by covering the discharge port on the mower deck. This shield redirects discharged clippings away from the tractor and deck, reducing the risk of clogs and promoting cleaner, more efficient mowing.

If your deflector shield is cracked, missing, or no longer staying in place, you might notice grass buildup near the discharge opening or uneven clipping dispersion. Replacing a damaged shield helps preserve airflow under the deck and ensures consistent mowing results.

To install, turn off the engine, let it cool, and disconnect the spark plug wire. Wear gloves for protection, and use a screwdriver to remove the old shield and secure the new one in place. This simple fix can help maintain your lawn tractor's performance and reduce wear on other deck components.
