Install the Vertical Bagger Support
1. Install the vertical
bagger support (683-
04519C) onto the
mounting assembly
on the tractor by
hooking it over the
cross mounting
bracket. See Figure 8.
2. Align the vertical
bagger support with
the hole labeled “C”.
See inset in Figure 8.
3. Secure the vertical bagger support
to the cross mounting bracket
using a carriage bolt (710-0276)
and wing knob (720-04122)
from hardware pack 689-
02364. See Figure 9.
NOTE: Position “C” is the
recommended mounting

other mounting positions
to accommodate other
attachments.
Install Hanger
Assembly
1. Install and secure the hanger
assembly (683-04461C) onto
the vertical bagger support
using two carriage bolts
(710-0276), two cup washers
(736-0242) and two flange
lock nuts (712-04063) from
hardware pack 689-02364.
Figure 10.

Assembling Remaining Bagger Components
With the mounting brackets assembled and in place on the tractor, follow these
steps to assemble the remaining
bagger components.
1.
Snap the upper chute
support (731-17091) in place
by first clipping the side
portion onto the hanger
assembly rail (1), as shown
in Figure 11.
2. Snap the front side of the
upper chute support to the
rail (2), as shown in Figure 11.
3. If not already done so by the
factory, install the bagger
screen (731-06504) into the
bagger cover (631-04292) by
first inserting the end closest
to the side with the cutout (1)
into the mounting hole, as in
Figure 12.
4. Make sure to feed the screen
under the lip. Clip in the other
side by pushing the screen into
the provided cutout (2). See
Figure 13.
5. Install the bagger cover onto
the hanger assembly, as seen in
Figure 14. The cover goes inside
the two mounting tabs.
6. Slide the hinge pin (711-04988)
into the hole located on the
mounting tab, as shown in
Figure 15. Use the cut-out
window (see inset in Figure 15) to
line up the hinge pin on the other
side and push pin all the way in
until it reaches the end-stop. At
this point the pin clips into place
and is secured by a tab in the
bagger cover. See Figure 16.
7. If not already flipped forward, flip
seat forward to allow for bag and
upper tube assembly steps.
8. Open bagger cover by
pushing in on the rear, right-
side tab with your right hand
(1), and lifting the cover with
your left hand in the center
rear of the bagger cover (2) as
