Description
S9288 – 61" Mulch Cover Plate for SCAG Velocity Plus Deck (Genuine SCAG OEM Part)
The SCAG S9288 61" Mulch Cover Plate is a genuine OEM replacement component designed specifically for 61-inch SCAG Velocity Plus mower decks. Engineered to convert the side-discharge deck into a more efficient mulching system, this heavy-duty cover plate seals the discharge opening, allowing grass clippings to remain beneath the deck longer for repeated cutting into fine mulch.
Manufactured from high-grade steel and finished with a durable corrosion-resistant coating, the S9288 Mulch Cover Plate delivers exceptional strength, long service life, and a precise factory fit. It helps improve mulching performance, promotes healthier turf by returning nutrients to the soil, and reduces the need for bagging or collecting grass clippings.

Using the correct OEM mulch cover plate also helps maintain proper airflow inside the deck, ensuring consistent cutting performance.
