Almost perfect, worked OK
This part is very important to the mulching, bag filling and side discharge power. Being plastic and in close proximity of the blade, it's bound to crack and break off to varying degrees. When it does don't waste time waiting to fix it. This part fit almost perfectly but one hole for a bolt, bushing and nut on each side was not in correct location by about 1/2 a hole. This required a drill-out of the plastic to match the holes in the deck side and then everything went right together. The increase and efficiency of the mulcher was so improved that even in deep leaves, the mulching was amazing with just one pass. The bagger fills fuller and more completely. This part was well made and, I think, stronger than the factory one.
