**COMPATIBILITY WARNING: This Rear Guard Assembly ONLY fits the Milwaukee 2823-20 Revision M44C (newest revision). It is NOT compatible with Revision M44A or Revision M44B of the same 2823-20 mower. Milwaukee does not currently offer a retrofit kit to convert older M44A or M44B mowers to accept this new rear guard. Verify your tool's revision code (M44A, M44B, or M44C) on the mower's data plate BEFORE ordering. For older revisions M44A and M44B, see the Milwaukee 28-41-0018 Rear Guard Assembly instead. **Milwaukee parts change not only by model# but also by serial number.

The rear guard assembly is the pivoting deflector mounted at the rear of the mower's steel deck, which deflects grass clippings, dirt, mulched debris, and any small foreign objects downward and away from the operator during mowing operation.

Milwaukee redesigned the rear guard in the M44C revision of the 2823-20, which introduced a new mounting geometry and guard profile that is mechanically incompatible with the older M44A and M44B revisions of the same mower. This is a critical compatibility note that must be verified before ordering. The 28-41-8525 is ONLY for the 2823-20 Revision M44C, and Milwaukee does not offer a retrofit kit or conversion path to fit this new rear guard onto older M44A or M44B mowers - the deck mounting points, hinge geometry, and guard profile are diffe
