Toro 137-7042 Recycler Kit 42 Inches

Product Description

The TORO 137-7042 is a 42-inch Recycler Kit designed for use with compatible Toro mowing decks. This kit converts a standard side-discharge or bagging mower deck into a mulching system by recirculating clippings back into the cutting chamber for fine shredding. The result is a clean, clipping-free lawn surface without the need to bag or rake. Installation is handled by lawn equipment technicians or experienced service professionals familiar with Toro deck systems.

This kit is intended for 42-inch Toro mowing decks that are compatible with the Recycler mulching system. It is suited for residential lawn maintenance applications where mulching is preferred over bagging or side discharge. The 42-inch deck size is commonly found on Toro riding mowers and zero-turn platforms in the residential range. Install this kit to convert the cutting deck to full mulching operation during the mowing season.

Key Features

• Converts standard decks to a closed-loop mulching system that returns clippings to the turf
• Eliminates the need for a grass catcher or side-discharge chute during mulching operation

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a qualified outdoor power equipment technician. Disconnect the spark plug wire and ensure the blade has come to a complete stop before working under the deck. Follow all guidelines in the Toro service manual for deck access, blade removal, and mulch plug or baffle installation. Standard hand tools are generally sufficient for this conversion.
