@@nothingbutgadgets I got it on, but I had to duct tape the clear bagger hose to the plastic chute because the collar wasn’t tight around it like yours for some reason. It just kept sliding down
@@MrJaison12 Gald, you got it working. Duct Tape to the rescue! Who knows how many times the world has been saved by duct tape, WD-40, and Bailing wire.
Ensure chamfered edge faces up on the back brackets that attach to the mower. All self threading bolts are 1/2". The small bolts and nuts that hold the chute to the deck are 11 mm. Who knows? Instruction book SUX!!
what i am scared about a bagger kit is using a flexi tube, since its "translusive (thin) plastic", one day that tube will end his life versus rigid (black) tube... yesterday, i have ordered a 50" bagger kit from MTD and the pictures showed "rigid black tube", i hope i will have this version versus "flexi tube" "(¬ . ¬)"
I have the older style and let me tell you it’s a POS! The lower chute is plastic and will blow apart when you mow the smallest stick! I have to find the pieces and glue it back together every time I mow! I have to buy a new lower chute for almost $100 every year🤬🤬🤬. This part should have been made of steel because it takes far more abuse then even the blades or deck do as stuff is coming of the blade tips and getting launched right into the back side of this plastic POS.
I must add I’m not mowing rocks or anything. Put a new set of blades on yesterday and first time out the thing broke! The blades don’t have a single nick and still have paint on the cutting edges! You don’t want the old style!
I am in my second year of mowing with this kit. I have had no problems with it at all. My yard is about an acre and my land is nothing but rocks. They seem to work up out of the ground. Not little marble size rocks, but egg and baseball sized rocks. I do my best to pick them up, but I have hit many over the last two years when the grass gets too high for me to see them. I had to upgrade my mower blades to Gator 1/4" thick blades so they don't get destroyed when I hit these huge rocks. My yard is also a forest of post oak trees. They are always dropping limbs. So up to one or two inches thick. I don't even stop to pick them up if they are an inch thick or less. I just mow over them and my heavy duty blades turn them into wood chips. So far this bagging kit has been amazing. This year we have had a ton of rain and I have bagged a couple of semi truck trailer loads of grass.

A shame that this video is better than the official video and instructions that troy bilt made. Thanks a lot
Thank you so much for the support. It means more to me than you can imagine. I am so glad the video helped you out.
Does lining up the bracket with the A B C marks for 48, 42 inch, 38 inch deck matter too much?
It is really difficult to say since there are so countless models. This bagging system will fit many models, but it is hard to say exactly which ones.

Do you have any part numbers of the bracket you assembled on the ground and installed at the rear...I need all that bracketry
Sorry. I bought mine as a kit. I am not sure you can buy those parts separately.

you took your time hooking up the back and went so fast hooking it up to where the grass comes out
It is not as complicated as the rear assembly.
