Universal Mower Deck Boot for Lawn Tractors

WHAT DOES A MOWER DECK BOOT DO?
The deck boot fits over the discharge opening where grass and leaves exit your mower deck.
It directs the discharged material into a chute or hose, which carries the leaves and grass toward the collection system.

The deck boot uses durable HDPE construction that won't rust.
Added Stability
Notches along the bottom are designed to fit over the mower deck frame or lip.

Not every mower is identical. Compatibility depends on the mower, mounting configuration and mower deck discharge setup. Use our compatibility guide before ordering.
You need a method for directing material from your mower's discharge opening into the chute tube. If your mower doesn't already have compatible components, LeafCat offers a Universal Deck Boot system.
The LeafCat Universal Deck Boot is designed for use with many compatible lawn tractor deck configurations. Measurements should be checked before ordering.
YIt may fit many zero-turn mower decks within the appropriate size and configuration range. Because mower decks differ, verify your mower measurements before purchasing.
The LeafCat boot has a neck outside diameter of approximately 7.25 inches.
The boot itself is made from thick-walled HDPE material and does not rust.
LeafCat currently offers different deck boot packages. Some include mounting hardware and retention straps while the deck-boot-only version does not. Select the package that matches the components you need.
Installation varies by mower, but the basic process includes:
1. Size the Boot
Collapse the adjustable sections, position the boot over the mower discharge opening and expand it until the opening is covered.
2. Secure the Boot Size
Once properly sized, the two sections are fastened together.
3. Attach Retention Points
Retention straps secure the boot to appropriate mounting points on the mower deck.
4. Connect the Chute
The collection hose connects the deck boot to the LeafCat bagging system.
