i have a craftsman rider model 917.273350 and i need the bagger chute that connects to the mower deck. i went to the parts direct and found the mower but the chute does not look like it is the correct part. or at least by the picture. they give a part number of 131970 for the deck chute. but then when i go to the verify box and check to see if that part fits my machine it say no. so does anyone happen to know it this is in fact the correct part for my rider? thanks

looked through operators manual & parts list, I may have overlooked, but it looks like your model did not offer bagger system.

ok then the other owner must have put one on it. it sure looks like it may have come with that unit. my rider has the same bracket on it that is attached to the main frame. and the book does not show a bagger for my machine but it came from sears with a bagger on it. so i will keep looking. i may take my deck chute off my rider and see if it fits her mower at the deck. never know. again thanks
