DANGER signals an extreme hazard that will cause
serious injury or death if the recommended
precautions are not followed.
WARNING signals a hazard that may cause serious
injury or death if the recommended precautions are
not followed.
CAUTION signals a hazard that may cause minor or
moderate injury if the recommended precautions are

mechanical information and “Note” emphasizes
general information worthy of special attention.

Installation
Preparing

ractor
Install New J–Pin
Before you can install the bagger, you must first
install a bagger–compatible J–pin in the attachment
lift arm on the right side of the tractor. This is most
easily done on a level concrete surface. Rougher dirt
or lawn surfaces make installation more difficult.
1. Remove the mower; refer to Mower Operator’s
Manual for instructions.
2. Start the tractor, set the parking brake, lower the
attachment lift, and turn the ignition key to
“STOP” to stop the engine. Remove the ignition
key.
3. Remove the cotter pin from the J–pin on the
right side of the tractor (Fig. 1). Slide the
washer and spring from the J–pin, then remove
the J–pin from the attachment lift arm.
Remove the Transaxle Cover
Remove the transaxle cover from the back of the
tractor (Fig. 2).
Note: Save all parts and hardware for use
when installing the transaxle cover.

Install the Mower Deck Counterweight
(Use these instructions for decks with
washout port)
If your mower deck has a washout port (Fig. 9), use
these instructions for mounting the counterweight. If
there is no washout port, skip this section and install
the counterweight per the next section.
The washout port must be removed to install the

holes in the top of the mower deck.
The cover plate, included in loose parts, prevents
debris from being thrown out of the open holes in the
mower deck.
