I have a Raptor SD 48 deck, model #934596, yr 2016. Do I need 122817 or 119597 kit ? They don't make it easy on which one to get, one online retailer shows 122817 via serial #, called authorized Hustler dealer they say 119597 using model #. anyone have ordered one of these to maybe get some dimensions ?
 
Simple solution, load the unit on the trailer and drive to your Hustler dealer. Have him take the model and serial numbers and lookup and order the correct part. If it comes up being wrong, he should then correct the problem at no extra cost to you.
 
Well picked up Engine guard part# 119597, don't fit. It looks like I need part #122817. How can Hustler Authorized dealers not get correct part, that was one reason why I didn't buy online. Would of been worth travel time and gas for right Engine Guard.

bummer. the 119597 is what i used on my 2 year old 54 raptor sd. but looking in the manual closer, it shows the guard changing for the 60" model, after a certain serial#. i wonder what was changed exactly.
 
Dealer seemed certain this was the correct guard, and being $35 cheaper I was hoping it was right. Now I might consider just to modify this guard to make it fit, or drive back 1 hr to refund and just forget about putting guard on.
 
Modified 119597, took .750 inch off entire bottom edge. Basically cut comes out exactly across top of 2 small holes. worked out perfect with hole mount location. Attached before and after photo. So hustler is selling guard 122817 @ $120, compared with part 119597 @ $82. hustler.jpgmount.jpg

Thanks, was thinking about modifying mine to make it work. I ordered the 119597 per the manual that came with my mower and it doesn't fit. Emailed Hustler and they advised I was using the wrong part number. Was hoping they'd allow an exchange since the p/n in my manual is wrong.

Great mower, just wish that info had been correct up front.
