Discharge chutes for the Toro 21565

Short answer

Chute 144-0242 in all three of the ten ranges we opened. It held across them, which is not what the 21462 and 21472 listings show.

What decides it

The numbers that matter here

Serial range

Same chute across the earliest, middle and latest of ten

Chosen from across the span rather than three adjacent listings.

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. On the three listings we opened here the check came back unchanged, which is still worth doing.

Description

Not published by Toro 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 all three listings we opened: the earliest, a middle one and the latest of ten.

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 the chute number changes from 139-6556 to 147-8696 between the two ranges we opened. On the all-wheel-drive 21472 the earlier listing carries 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. Across the three listings we opened, spread over the full published span, it is 144-0242 throughout. Seven of the ten we have not opened.

Toro publishes no description for this part beyond its abbreviated name, 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.

Seven of the ten listings remain unopened.

The mistake we see most

Ordering a chute on the model number alone because it seems too simple a part to have been revised.

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.

The answer is not the same on every machine, which is the point of checking rather than assuming.
