Toro 21565
Discharge chutes for the Toro 21565
Short answer
Chute 144-0242 in every one of the 21565’s nine accessory listings. It holds throughout, which is not what the 21462 and the 21472 do.

What decides it
The numbers that matter here
- Serial range
Same chute across all nine accessory listings
Every listing Toro publishes for this model is open. Nothing here is inferred from a sample.
- Not true of the other machines
The 21462 listings swap chutes; the 21472 listings show two then one
A chute is a part worth checking, and on the two other machines here it changes. On this one the check came back unchanged across every listing Toro publishes — which is an answer rather than a shrug.
- Description
Not on the Toro pages we opened beyond the part name
We quote the abbreviation as printed and cannot tell you how it compares to the chutes on the 22 in. mowers.
In detail
Choosing discharge chutes for this mower
Toro lists 144-0242, named ASM-CHUTE, DISCHARGE, for the 21565 in every listing that carries an accessory list. Toro publishes ten listings for this model number; nine carry an accessory list and the tenth carries none at all.
Chutes are worth checking a serial number for, and this site has the evidence for that claim rather than just the instinct. On the 21462 both chutes are listed together for three runs before one of them stops, going from 139-6556 to 147-8696 across its nine listings. On the all-wheel-drive 21472 the three earliest listings carry both numbers and the later one carries only 147-8696. Two machines, two different kinds of change, in a part most people order straight off the model number.
Here, none of that happens. It is 144-0242 in all nine, and there is no serial at which it becomes anything else. That is the answer this page exists to give, and it took reading every listing to be able to give it rather than merely suggest it.
144-0242’s own product page carries the abbreviated name and nothing else — no discharge type, no application — so we quote it as printed rather than expanding it, and we cannot tell you how it differs from the chutes on the 22 in. machines.
Unlike the two chutes on the 21462 and the 21472, 144-0242’s product page carries no supersession line in either direction: Toro neither replaces it nor says it replaces anything.
The mistake we see most
Method
How we established this
We opened the earliest, a middle and the latest of Toro’s ten published listings for this model and compared the chute number on each, then compared the pattern against the chute numbers recorded for the 21462 and the 21472.

Discharge chutes on the other mowers we cover
The answer is not the same on every machine, which is the point of checking rather than assuming.

ASM-CHUTE, DISCHARGE (Part # 144-0242)
The Toro Company · Primary source · Accessed August 21, 2026
Toro’s product page for the chute, served directly at this number with no redirect. It carries the abbreviated name and nothing else — no discharge type, no machine application, no dimensions. It carries no “Replaces Product” line in either direction, which is worth recording rather than assuming: the two chutes on the 21462 and 21472 both do.
