Need help finding the proper lower chute for a twin bagger on a 2011 yt3000 craftsman trac

Need help finding the proper lower chute for a twin bagger on a 2011 yt3000 craftsman lawn tractor 46" mower deck. Sears parts direct keeps sending me the wrong chute. The opening on the mower deck measures 20" across. The chute they keep sending is 17" wide at the opening. So far I have had 4 different chutes sent and all are the wrong size. they all come no where near covering the opening on the mower deck. The Model is # 917.288520 date of manufacture is 03/13/2011 Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

    The Lower Chute part #731-06099B Sent from sears parts direct did not come even close to fitting the opening. The width of the deck opening is 20" the chute opening measured at 17" on the chute sent by sears. Also on the mower deck opening there is a locking tab on the right top side of the opening to hold the chute in place. The part sent did not have the opening for the tab to fit and hold the chute. The accessory # 405455 is supposed to be the number for the bagger system itself. The Twin Bagger system itself is new everything worked and hooked up to the mower with a couple minor modifications. Only thing not fitting is the lower chute it is way to small for the opening on the mower deck.

    Yes Roy said we needed the model number of the bagger system as it is made by a third party supplier.
     
    Your mower is a AYY/Husqvarna mower and the parts you are receiving is for a MTD built mower. Of course the parts are not going to fit as MTD decks are different.
     
    When I input the accessory number you gave us it is not the bagger systems but is listed as the lower chute to deck attachment that you are looking for. According to my price file here that number is now superseded from 405455 to 532405455 and is for the 46" deck.
     
    The following is what the part looks like.

    Any Husqvarna dealer should be able to get it as my distributor has 8 of them in stock.

    I just have a couple of questions on the part number you supplied. Since the picture does not really show the opening on the chute. Can you tell me if there is a slot on top of the chute located 3" from the right side of the chute(chute facing the deck opening)? That slot should be 2" long for the locking tab to fit? It would be of great help if you know the answer to that. And thank you for all the help you have provided so far.
