A cracked or missing deflector chute isn't just an eyesore—it's a safety hazard and affects cut quality. Grass clippings won't discharge properly, leaving uneven rows and a messy yard. Genuine OEM Murray chute parts fit your exact model and restore safe, efficient mowing. We stock discharge chutes, mulch plugs, trail shields, and hardware to get your mower back in action fast.
Common deflector failures include warping from UV exposure, impact damage, and fastener loss. Worn chutes can also cause clippings to blow back toward the operator. Don't patch it—replace it with OEM parts built to Murray's original specs.
Find your exact Murray model number on the frame near the engine. Search our Murray lawn mower parts catalog by model to locate the correct chute assembly and all replacement hardware. Order today and mow with confidence this season.
A new chute solves most discharge problems, but double-check that the mulch plug is fully disengaged (if your model has one). Dull blades also reduce clipping velocity—sharp blades are required for clean discharge. Verify the chute bolts are tight and there are no gaps where clippings can escape. Wet, thick grass may also require a slower mowing speed.
The model number is stamped on a metal or plastic tag bolted to the frame, usually near the engine or under the seat. Write it down exactly as printed. You'll also find a serial number, but the model number is what you need for parts lookup. Enter it in our search bar at Repair Clinic, and we'll show you the correct deflector chute, discharge guard, and all fasteners for your mower.
We sell individual bolts, washers, and springs, but most customers find it easier and safer to replace the entire OEM chute assembly. The hardware can corrode or strip, and replacing the whole unit ensures everything aligns perfectly. Plus, you'll get the correct shape for your exact Murray model—chutes vary by deck size.
The discharge chute directs grass clippings to the side or rear of the mower. The mulch plug is an accessory that blocks the chute opening, forcing clippings back into the deck to be chopped finer. Not all Murray models have a mulch plug option. Check your owner's manual or your model page here to confirm which parts your mower needs.
