Identify The Model of Tractor
This bagging system is designed for use on several different
tractor models. Prior to attempting to mount the bagger, it is
important to determine which model of tractor that you have.
To identify your tractor’s model, simply pivot the seat upward
and locate the model plate on its underside. The model number
will consist of a combination of eleven number and letters.
The 5th, 6th & 7th digits in your model number determine the
model series. For example, 13WC762F065, 13AN795S001 and
13WN77KS011 are all 700-series tractors.
700-Series Tractors Only
If you are assembling this bagger for use on any 700-series model
tractor you will need to install the two tractor mounting brackets
packed in your bagger kit. If you are installing this bagger unit on
any other tractor, disregard these steps and move to Assemble
Mounting Brackets on the next page.
To install these brackets on a model 700-series tractor, follow
these steps:
Install a shoulder bolt from your hardware pack on each1.
bracket, securing them with flange lock nuts also included
in the hardware pack. Refer to Fig. 4-1.
Insert the clevis pins from your hardware pack on each2.
bracket, securing them with clip pins also included in the

Assemble Mounting Brackets
To assemble the bagger mounting assembly, locate the hitch
bracket kit and follow these steps:
Attach the right-hand and left hand rider hitch bracket1.
to the universal rear attachment bracket using the four
carriage bolts (710-0276) and flange lock nuts (712-04063)
packed with the mounting brackets. Position the brackets
with the hooks on the right-hand and left hand rider hitch
bracket pointing downward, and the tabs on the universal
rear attachment bracket pointing upwards. See Fig. 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.
Flip over assembly and mount the hitch support bracket2.
to the mounting assembly using four 710-3008 hex bolts
and 712-04063 flange lock nuts from hardware pack
689-00087. See Fig. 4-4 for proper orientation of the
bracket.
Note: When attaching the hitch support, 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 hitch support bracket.
Assembling The Bag Support Assembly
Locate the upright support bracket and the bag support
assembly. Assemble it by following these steps:
Lay the bag support assembly topside down with the1.
mounting bracket portion facing upwards.
Insert the notched end of the vertical support bracket into2.
the bag support assembly, as in Fig. 4-5, and secure with
a carriage bolt (710-0276) and flange lock nut (712-04063)
from hardware pack 689-00080. See Fig. 4-6.

tractors with 46” decks, the support assembly mounts in
the right hand hole as seen in Fig. 4-11.
Mount Assembly on Tractor
Install the mounting assembly on the tractor as follows:
Place the hooked ends of the bagger mounting assembly1.
over the shoulder bolts, as in Fig. 4-7, on the tractor and
line up the hitch support hole on the mounting assembly
with the hole on the tractor’s hitch.
Install the clevis pin (711-0309A) from hardware pack 689-2.
00087 into the tractor’s hitch and the assembly’s hitch support
and secure with a hairpin clip (714-0117). See Fig. 4-8.
Note: The clevis pin can be fed down through the hitch
support and secured, using the hole closest to the head,
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.

respect to new merchandise purchased and used in the United States
and/or its territories and possessions, and by MTD Products Limited
with respect to new merchandise purchased and used in Canada and/
or its territories and possessions (either entity respectively, “MTD”).
“MTD” warrants this product (excluding its Normal Wear Parts and
Attachments as described below) against defects in material and
workmanship for a period of one (1) year commencing on the date
of original purchase and will, at its option, repair or replace, free of
charge, any part found to be defective in materials or workmanship.
This limited warranty shall only apply if this product has been
operated and maintained in accordance with the Operator’s Manual
furnished with the product, and has not been subject to misuse,
abuse, commercial use, neglect, accident, improper maintenance,
alteration, vandalism, theft, fire, water, or damage because of other
peril or natural disaster. Damage resulting from the installation or use
of any part, accessory or attachment not approved by MTD for use
with the product(s) covered by this manual will void your warranty as
to any resulting damage.
Normal Wear Parts are warranted to be free from defects in material
and workmanship for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of
purchase. Normal wear parts include, but are not limited to items
such as: batteries, belts, blades, blade adapters, tines, grass bags,

wheels, shave plates, auger spiral rubber and tires.
Attachments — MTD warrants attachments for this product against
defects in material and workmanship for a period of one (1) year,
commencing on the date of the attachment’s original purchase or

c. Service completed by someone other than an authorized service
dealer.
d. MTD does not extend any warranty for products sold or exported
outside of the United States and/or Canada, and their respective
possessions and territories, except those sold through MTD’s

e. Replacement parts that are not genuine MTD parts.

No implied warranty, including any implied warranty of
merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, applies after
the applicable period of express written warranty above as to the
parts as identified. No other express warranty, whether written or
oral, except as mentioned above, given by any person or entity,
including a dealer or retailer, with respect to any product, shall
bind MTD. During the period of the warranty, the exclusive remedy
is repair or replacement of the product as set forth above.
The provisions as set forth in this warranty provide the sole and
exclusive remedy arising from the sale. MTD shall not be liable
for incidental or consequential loss or damage including, without
limitation, expenses incurred for substitute or replacement lawn
care services or for rental expenses to temporarily replace a
warranted product.
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental
or consequential damages, or limitations on how long an implied
warranty lasts, so the above exclusions or limitations may not apply
to you.
In no event shall recovery of any kind be greater than the amount of
the purchase price of the product sold. Alteration of safety features of
the product shall void this warranty. You assume the risk and liability
for loss, damage, or injury to you and your property and/or to others
and their property arising out of the misuse or inability to use the
product.
This limited warranty shall not extend to anyone other than the
original purchaser or to the person for whom it was purchased as a
gift.
HOW STATE LAW RELATES TO THIS WARRANTY: This limited
warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other
rights which vary from state to state.

obtain warranty coverage.
