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.
• For convenience, pivot the seat forward and leave it in
that position until the grass collector is fully mounted and
assembled.
Assemble Mounting Brackets
To assemble the universal mounting assembly, locate the
mounting assembly pack and follow these steps:
1. Attach the two hitch side brackets to the universal rear
attachment bracket using two carriage bolts (710-0276) and
wing knobs (720-04122) from hardware pack 689-00328A.
NOTE: The hooks on the side brackets should point
downwards and the tabs on the rear plate point upwards as
shown in Figure 4-3.
NOTE: This universal mounting bracket assembly is
designed to work with other available attachments, such
as a weight kit used in conjunction with the snow blade or
snow thrower attachment. Utilize the contact information
on page 2, or contact the retailer in which you purchased
this equipment, to find out more about available
attachments for your specific tractor.
Hole provided for clevis pins for all 700 series mountings
2. Flip over assembly and mount the hitch support bracket to the
mounting assembly as seen in Figure 4-4.
NOTE: It might be easier during the mounting stage to
leave this hardware only finger tight to facilitate lining up
the hitch hole for the clevis pin. You will be instructed to
tighten this later in this manual if you chose to only finger
tighten this hardware now.
NOTE: The holes closest to the mounting hooks are to
be used for all 700 model series machines, while the two
holes closest to the cross mount are for all other models.
The hitch support bracket will need to be flipped to enable
alignment of the proper holes depending on the model of
machine this bagger is being installed on. See Figure 4-4.

Mount Assembly on Tractor
Install mounting assembly on tractor as follows:
1. Place the hooked ends of the mounting assembly over the
shoulder bolts, as in Figure 4-4, on the tractor and line up
the hitch support bracket center hole with the hole on the
tractor's hitch.
Figure 4-5
2. Install the clevis pin from hardware pack 689-00328A into the
tractor's hitch and secure with a hairpin clip. See Figure 4-6.
NOTE: The clevis pin can be fed down through the hitch
plate and secured underneath with the hairpin clip, or it
may be easier to feed the clevis pin up through the hitch
plate hole and secure with the hairpin clip on the topside.
The latter method may be preferred since it can be easier
to insert the hairpin clip. Either way will work, the decision
should be based on operator preference.
For all other models.
