Husqvarna Clear Cut Fabricated Deck Mulch Kit, 54 in.

Does not fit YTH 1942 42 inch tractor, labeled that it fits all 42 inch Husqvarna.

First of all, the mulch kit is mowing my yard just fine... However, when installing the kit I removed the standard safety shield (which was not indicated in the instructions). The instruction were to tie the shield up. I didn't like to have to climb over this shield to get on the mower... and if the kit does it's job, I will never need to use it again... So, I removed it. Problem is that there remains a small gap between the new shield and the deck with the safety shield removed. The top of the deck gets full of grass after each mowing. I would have preferred the kit be designed for the safety shields removal. With only two screws holding it to the deck, I can easily reinstall if I choose to go back to the standard configuration.

Good quality mowers blades and hardware. Deck cover opening could fit a little better but certainly does the job.

You should owe me money for the fabrication I had to do to make the device fit. One of the screw holes was so out of place that I had to drill another. And, the discharge end cover did not completely cover the discharge and I had to engineer a metal extension to secure it. Once secure, there was a large gap that I closed with an additional bolt. I have mowed with it twice since installing it and it works poorly, leaving large clumps of grass at intervals and a line of grass clippings along the track. In a word, this mulch kit “sucks.”
