Additional Information
The Husqvarna Lawn Tractor Deflector Shield, part number 532130968, replaces part numbers 130968 and 532171859. This shield mounts over the mower deck discharge port to safely redirect grass clippings away from the deck and operator during use. It helps reduce clumping, prevents buildup under the deck, and improves cutting consistency.
Damage to the deflector can lead to uncontrolled grass discharge, debris buildup, or uneven mowing. If your mower is scattering clippings irregularly or the shield is cracked or hanging loosely, it?s likely time to install a replacement.
To install, disconnect the spark plug for safety and wear work gloves to protect your hands from sharp deck edges. Align the new shield with the mounting points and secure it with existing hardware or approved fasteners. Verify the shield swings freely and returns to position after lifting.
Inspect your deflector shield regularly and replace it at the first sign of damage to maintain safe, efficient mowing and reduce wear on your deck and engine.
