ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION

NOTE: References to left, right, front and rear of the tractor are from the operator’s position, unless

otherwise stated.

• Before assembly, place the tractor on a firm, level surface, disengage the

PTO, stop the tractor engine and set the parking brake.

Assemble Mounting Brackets

1. Install 12 rubber pads (735-

05938) into adapter bracket

(789-02518) using the mounting

holes shown in Figure 3.

NOTE: Check the bumper pads after

each season for excessive wear and

replace as necessary.

Install Bracket Assembly

on Tractor

NOTE: When assembling this mounting assembly,

it is best to not fully tighten the bracket at this

time. This will facilitate the mounting process in

later steps, which will then require fully

tightening this mounting assembly.

Install mounting bracket assembly on tractor as follows:

1. Remove hitch bracket.

2. For ZT1 installation only:

Place two flat washers

(736-0117) between

hitch bracket adapter

(789-02298) and the hitch

bracket removed in Step 1.

3. Install bracket assembly to

the tractor’s lower frame

with two capscrews (710-

0376). See Figure 4.

4. Hang adapter bracket

assembly onto upper frame

square tube and connect to

hitch bracket adapter (789-

02298) with two screws

(710-0376), two cup

washers (736-0242) ,and

two flange lock nuts (710-

04063). See Figure 5.

NOTE: Make sure that the adapter

bracket is seated firmly on the

upper tube frame.

5. Tighten all of the hardware

installed at this time.

Install Vertical Support

NOTE: This manual covers various bagger configurations. Please follow the instructions

applicable to your machine.

1. Using Figure 6 and the chart below, locate the correct mounting hole location

on the mounting bracket for your tractor:

Model No. Description Position

19A70054* 42”/46” Double Bagger 4

19A70055* 50”/54” Double Bagger 3

NOTE: Hole position 2 is

currently not used.

2. Install the vertical support

bracket onto the mounting

assembly on the tractor

by hooking it over the

mounting assembly as

shown in Figure 7.

3. Secure the upright

support bracket to the

mounting assembly using

a hex bolt (710-0376)

and flange lock nut (712-

04063) from hardware

pack 689-01419. See

Figure 7.

Install Hanger Assembly

1. Install and secure the

hanger assembly onto the

upright support bracket

using two carriage bolts

(710-0276), two cup

washers (736-0242) and

in place over the hex head screws.

Make sure the tip of the rod is

facing out from the boot. See

Figure 15.

3. Begin threading the flange lock

nuts (712-04064) onto the hex head screws. See Figure 15.

4. Using a 7/16” wrench or socket on

the screw and a 7/16” box wrench

on the lock nuts, tighten down

so flange is flush to secure the

assembly.

Installing the Discharge

Chute - 42/46” Double

Bagger

1. With the tractor’s discharge chute

raised up and held open (1), install

the chute elbow by placing the

chute elbow mounting rod into

the chute mounting tab (2), as

shown in Figure 16.

2. Secure the chute elbow to

the deck using a wing knob

(720-04122) from hardware pack

689-01419. See Figure 17.

NOTE: If present, remove the protective

cap off of the mounting stud on the

mowing deck as shown in the upper inset

of Figure 17.

IMPORTANT: Be certain that the

bottom of the discharge chute is

located inside of the lip of the deck

opening, as shown in Figure 18.

Installing the Discharge

Chute - 50/54” Double

Bagger

When installing the discharge chute,

two different installation instructions

exist. For the 54” Fabricated deck units, the discharge chute elbow mounts directly

onto the cutting deck. For the 50” and 54” stamped decks, an adapter must first be

installed. Be sure to follow the instructions that pertain to the unit you are installing

this bagger on.

54” Fabricated Deck Units:

1. Raise the deck to its highest

position.

2. Raise the chute deflector (1 in

Figure 19) on the deck and hold it

while you position the discharge

chute over the chute opening.

elbow (2) into the hole provided in

the deck wheel mount as shown

in the inset of Figure 19.

4. Pivot the discharge chute

rearward until the hole in the

discharge chute elbow aligns with

the pin on the deck. Move the

discharge elbow down onto that

pin as shown in 3 of Figure 19.

5. Secure the discharge chute elbow

to the cutting deck using a wing

knob (720-04122) included with

the bagger kit. Refer to Figure 20.

On 50” and 54” Stamped Decks:

1. Raise the deck to its highest

position.

2. Remove the deck pin rubber

protective cap (1) in Figure 21.

3. Raise the chute deflector (2 in

Figure 21) on the deck and hold

it while you install the chute

adapter (731-10133) (3) onto the

deck as shown in Figure 21.

4. Insert the end of the discharge

chute elbow (1) into the hole

provided in the deck wheel mount

as shown in the inset of Figure 22.

5. Pivot the discharge chute

rearward until the hole in the

discharge chute elbow aligns

with the pin on the deck adapter.

Move the discharge elbow down

onto that pin as shown in 2 of

Figure 22.

6. Secure the discharge chute elbow

to the cutting deck using a wing

knob (720-04122) included in

hardware pack 689-01419. Refer

to Figure 23.

Installing the Upper Chute

Tube

1. Thread the upper end of the chute

tube securely into the upper chute

support. There are two tabs on

the lower inside part of the upper

chute support to allow for secure

threading. See Figure 24.

NOTE: The chute tube and upper chute

support are left-hand threaded. Thread

counterclockwise until secure.

2. Lift by the handles at the bottom

of the chute tube. Slide the

chute tube over the chute elbow

mounted on the cutting deck, as

shown in Figure 25.

3. Make sure the connection is

secure and there are no gaps

between the chute tube and the

chute elbow.

4. If open, close the grass catcher

cover prior to mowing.

Install The Counter Weight

WARNING

This front-weight kit is required when operating any compatible zero turn

tractor models equipped with a grass collector. Failure to install this kit

may result in serious injury or death.

WARNING

Before beginning installation, place the zero turn tractor on a firm and

level surface, set the parking brake, place the PTO in the disengaged

(OFF) position, stop the motor and remove the ignition key to prevent

unintended starting.

1. Before assembly, peel the

adhesive decals from the sheet

and apply to the inside faces of

the right and left weight hanger

brackets, as shown in Figure 26.

2. Attach the weight and three

weight plates to the weight

hanger brackets with two 3/8” hex

head capscrews (710-3085) and

two nuts (712-04065) as shown in

Figure 27.
