Additional Information

The MTD Lawn Mower Deflector Shield, part number 731-07131, plays an essential role in maintaining the cleanliness and efficiency of your lawn mowing experience. Designed specifically for lawn mowers, this deflector shield ensures that grass clippings are directed away from the deck, preventing accumulation that can lead to clogs or reduce cutting performance.

A common issue faced by lawn mower users is grass build-up, which can significantly impact the machine's function by blocking airflow or causing uneven cuts. By effectively channeling clippings away from the mower, this shield helps avoid such issues, ensuring a smooth and uninterrupted mowing session.

To install this part, first disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent any accidental engine starts. While no specific tools are required, wearing work gloves is recommended to protect your hands during the installation process. This preventive measure aligns with our commitment to safety and ensures a hassle-free installation experience. As always, verify compatibility with your specific model by consulting your lawn mower's manual or reaching out to Sears PartsDirect for confirmation.

Perfect replacement
July 30, 2023|Fred W, Brownsville, Vermont

This discharge chute is the exact replacement for the one I mangled by running into things. I wish they were a little more robustly made, but I should be good for another couple of years now.
