Additional Information
The MTD Lawn Tractor Mulch Cover, part number 631-04262, replaces part number 731-06054. This cover fits over the grass chute opening on the mower deck, sealing the discharge area so clippings can be cut and recirculated into the turf. Mulching helps return nutrients to your lawn while eliminating the need to collect clippings.
If you're seeing clumps of grass behind the mower or uneven cutting performance, the mulch cover may be missing or damaged. Installing this part can resolve those issues and restore proper mulching function. This is a simple replacement that most users can install in just a few minutes.
Before installation, turn off the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire for safety. Align the cover over the chute opening and secure it using the mower?s built-in attachment points. Regularly inspect the cover for cracks or signs of wear that can affect mowing performance.
