Assembly & Installation
• 9/16" Socket Wrench (2)
700 Series Tractors Only
If you are assembling this bagger unit for use on any
model 700 series tractor you will need to install the
tractor mounting brackets packed in your bagger
kit. If you are installing this bagger unit on any
other tractor, disregard these steps and continue to
Assemble Mounting Brackets. To determine which
model of tractor you are installing this bagger on,
refer to page 3 of this manual.
To install these brackets on a model 700 series
tractor, follow these steps:
1. If not already installed by the factory, install
a shoulder bolt from your hardware pack on
each bracket, securing them with flange lock
nuts also included in the hardware pack. Refer
to Figure 4-1.
2. If already installed in the brackets, remove
the clevis pins and clips, retain for later
instructions. Refer to Figure 4-1.
Figure 1-1
3. Mount the 700 series tractor mounting
brackets to your tractor using four self-tapping
hex screws included with your kit. See Figure
4-2.

Required Tools

Assemble Mounting Brackets
To assemble the bagger 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 689-00312.
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.
2. Flip over assembly and mount the hitch
support bracket to the mounting assembly as
shown in Figure 4-4.
For 700 Models Only!
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 hardware later in this manual.
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 (All Other
Tractors)
Install mounting assembly onto non-700 Series
tractors as follows:
1. Place the hooked ends of the mounting
assembly over the shoulder bolts on the back
of the tractor frame, as shown in Figure 4-5,
and line up the hitch support bracket center
hole with the hole on the tractor's hitch.
Figure 1-5
2. Install the clevis pin (711-0309A) from
hardware pack 689-00312 into the tractor's
hitch and secure with a hairpin clip (714-0117).
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.
Insert the hairpin clip into the top hole, closest
to the head of the pin. You may need to push
up on the pin to make the hole accessible.
IMPORTANT! If you decided to leave the hitch
support only finger tight during the assembly
process, tighten all of the hardware securely
at this time.
