Bill G 24 #1 Posted June 5, 2023 So I own 1987 312-8 I found a bagger I was told will work on my Horse . It’s not a power bagger just a standard bagger . I’m unsure on how it gets mounted . I’ll have to post some pics of what I have . In the mean time any information on baggers would be great . Thank you 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,037 #3 Posted June 5, 2023 I think a 2-blade 37" deck is required. One of these is an OM (operator manual) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill G 24 #6 Posted June 5, 2023 Unfortunately those parts in those files look nothing like what I have . Thank you for the response . Could there be one that mounts into the pin hole of the hitch and then supported off the fender support somehow ?? Maybe an older style ??? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill G 24 #8 Posted June 5, 2023 These are the pictures I just got from the person I received it from . His horse is different from mine so I’m not sure it will work on my machine 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill G 24 #10 Posted June 5, 2023 Yup that is it . I don’t want to modify my machine to make it work . Thank you for the information it was a great help . I’ll sell it . I just found another 312-8 for sale with bagger . Hopefully the guy will sell me just the bagger 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter lena 8,592 #11 Posted June 5, 2023 @Bill G not a fan of baggers , recently went thru and sold one , do you like rot and corrosion ? typically there is little to no maintiance / service / cleaning of that set up . the deck usually rots out and spindles break the upper housing , idler pulley set up is never lubricated / cleaned , belt shreads and tears up related connections . also back of dash loads up with wet grass , engine cooling air intake gets packed with grass to rot . realise this might not be what you want to hear , bottom line if you do not regularly clean up the grass debris , overall , and also drop the deck , to scrape out, sun dry and oil soak you will be driving around a set up eating itself alive . pete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
