MTD 983-05196 Lawn Tractor 2W Deck Shell 46"

The MTD 983-05196 46-inch, 2-Blade Mower Deck Shell operates with lawn tractors. The housing operates as the primary enclosure for blades while managing airflow to perform cutting and discharge or mulch grass. The deck shell's shape combined with its design elements determines both the quality of the cut and the distribution of clippings. The shell contains fast-rotating blades that cut grass while its shaped design creates suction for clean cuts that then direct clippings through side or rear openings or into a bagging system. The replacement of damaged or rusted deck shells with this part provides efficient cutting operation and protection against component damage.
