Troy-bilt af-42649 Rear Hopper Tube

Product Description

The TROY-BILT af-42649 is a rear hopper tube designed as a direct OEM-style replacement for TROY-BILT lawn and garden equipment. This tube connects the hopper assembly to the discharge or collection system, directing clippings or material flow during mowing or tilling operations. Installation is straightforward and intended for technicians and equipment service professionals familiar with outdoor power equipment. The af-42649 restores proper material flow in machines where the original tube has cracked, split, or become damaged through normal use.

This rear hopper tube is used in TROY-BILT lawn and garden applications where the hopper or collection system requires a dedicated tube for material transfer. Typical installations include walk-behind mowers and related outdoor power equipment that use a rear-mounted bagging or collection system. Service is generally performed during seasonal maintenance or when the collection system shows reduced efficiency due to tube damage.
