This is what i needed. I just bought a used double bagger and didn't know if everything was included but your video verified that. Thanks a million my friend.
Used ones you can check on line. Unfortunately craftsman has sold out and not sure where to look at. It used to be Sears but they are all gone. So Sorry
Great video. Great "can-do" attitude. The strap on my chute is gone. I ordered a new one but they don't include the bolt. It's a metric 10-24 bolt. I got the one-inch bolt. I'm just going to hook the other end into the hole in the chute for now.
GREAT!!..so glad to hear that..I'm so glad when it can help people..That is what it is all about..Pass it forward!! Have fun picking up all those leaves!!
Would you happen to know the make and model of that bagger? We have brought2 of them home getting stuck with a $150 shipping charge and neither one of them was the right one we need one with that has that kind of a back bracket to atatch it. If you know could you please email it to me I would be so grateful…. Thank you…..Joan Gamsky …stitch1022@gmail.com
Thank you for helping my mother and I with this she has a hard time doing things, it all fit perfectly but it does pick it up but it's not even 30 ft and it's full, preceded to empty then redo and it's clogged when our yard is completely dry not wet at all.
Bro, You are the best. Not that I am Sexist, I empower Women, I have raised my niece helping me wrench on cars and I encouraged her towards a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) Career. As she got grew she helped me on Motor Swaps. However, I love how you have your Woman come in at the end, cutting the grass, proving how it was a proper and safe install. God Bless!
ha ha..I have to fight my wife to see who cuts the grass..She loves doing it..Although she dose make me empty the bagger and clean up the lawn mower when she is done..It all works..She said that cutting the grass comm's her down and she loves seeing the fresh cut grass..
@@Backyardprojectguy i got my bagger all unboxed. About 2 do the install. I 55 years old. FINALLY, with yor help, it still work, but i gonna take it ez. On my property, the leaves dont just fall once, they fall like 6 times. Its not even a joke, by the time i rake frim on side 2 the other leaves already fell again. Like a snake with tail in it mouth rolling down a hill. Anyway, thanks again 4 u great video. 😇😎
@@Bigwalt-yc1wj now you take it easy...The leaves are not going anywhere and they will be there when you are ready to roll..And will have to empty that bagger a lot more with all those leaves..But they do make a great Mulch for the garden.
My Tractor is an Electrolux Weedeater but as far as I can tell it's it was an OEM model similar to what Craftsman, MTD and others sold at the time. Would you mind sharing what brand and model mower you had in this video? I think I will have better luck finding a bagger for a better name brand. Thank you in advance!
Thank you for looking, I found mine, just like yours. Right down to the hookup to mower. At Home Depot. Got it hooked up, works awesome. Thanks for the video !!!

Do those work with tall wet grass? I bought a new push mower one of those $270.00 Craftsman ones and it's completely useless, it will not bag grass at all. I know most of the problem is the grass is thick and wet but I need something that will fill a bag no matter how the grass is. Do those riding lawn mowers work better than the push mowers as far as picking up tall wet grass?
I attached mine a year ago and it works really good up until I hit a few bumps and then it keeps popping off and blowing all over me. How can I keep it from popping off when I'm hitting bumps
Our issue was not shown here. We changed the blades and in the process, the top that covers the two bagger's was removed. Our manual was not clear as to how to attach the cover to the baggers. How do you put the springs on in order to keep the top from falling as you empty the leaves?
This is a long shot but would you be able to give me the dimensions of the bracket as the bagger I bought used didn't have one with it and nobody sell them anymore. :- I have to make my own. Thanks either way.
This looks amazing. I am a widow and the lawn work is so hard to keep up with. I have a question....will this work on wet grass and leafs. Seems like my yard is always wet!! Thanks
Good question...If the leaves are really wet and matted down.....It will not work very well..You can try moving over the leaves very slowly and this will get most of them..But if they are wet and matted down you might have to go over them several times.. Hope this helps..
How would you make a universal bagger fit . We have the four nuts on the back like you showed but each bagger we've gotten has a different bracket that sure doesn't fit on those four nuts. Is there somewhere we can buy one of those brackets and if yes what would we ask for
Not sure where you can buy the bracket..BUT I would start by checking with Sears on line..Do you have a local lawn mower repair shop? Check with them, they might be a good resource. Any chance of Drilling out one of the brackets that match the holes??..Good luck with your project..Hope some of this help..
I have a Troybilt 42" (after 2010) mower....Is that particular grasscatcher still available and will it work? Most of whats out there now is crap... Thank you, Be Safe!!
@@Backyardprojectguy That bagger is made for MTD Mowers of which Troybilt is one. Looking at getting one..don't want that cheap soft sided stuff.. alot of baggers are garbage. Your video sold me!!! Where do i send your commission check ...lol btw don't buy a Troybilt anyway. Stay Safe
@@carolinanumber1830 ..Ha ha..My commission check is paid by your kind comment..So glad to hear that it helped you....That's what it is all about..Saving people time and money..Stay healthy and lets go cut the grass!!
Hey Ken, I have the same exact bagger unit I cannot figure out how to reattach the Spring loaded cover to the frame would you be able to take a photo and show me the orientation of the Springs that hold the cover to the frame. Thank you so much

Both..You can buy Specific brand for your model, or you can find Universal ones and make then fit..Specific Brand will be easier to install..But both work
There is no spray that I know of...But now you got me thinking...you could get the car Wax spray and try that..I'm guessing that would work just fine..
Ken, you don't need to bag the grass most of the time. I only bag a few times a year, when there are leaves to pick up. The rest of the time, I have a mulch plug installed so the clippings are pushed back down onto the lawn. Those clippings act as fertilizer for the grass. Don't throw away good fertilizer.
Imagine that! A simply perfectly simple video on simple, but necessary, procedures. And in the tradition of TH-cam videos…wrap it up with the gal bringing it home. Great team work!
thanks
This video inspired me to install a bagger. Mulching blades are next. Thank you for such a concise helpful video
You will like it., and you can use the grass collected as mulch.in the gardens
You explained it well and you were easy to understand and you made it look simple with straight-to-the-point, no nonsense rhetoric! A HUGE thank you…
Thank you for the comment..I appreciate that..
I liked the fact that your wife was enjoying the swing set while you played, er, worked.
This is what i needed. I just bought a used double bagger and didn't know if everything was included but your video verified that. Thanks a million my friend.
So glad to hear it could help..Thanks for sharing the good news
Thankyou president W Bush, Now I can put a bagger on my lawn tractor
What ever it takes to keep it running....

Thanks for the simple, yet effective tutorial. These are the kind of videos that I love the most, short, sweet and simple, and very helpful.
Thanks for the comment..I glad to hear that it helps people..
I'm really glad that you made this video because now I know exactly what I have to do to get my bagger on my beautiful lawn mower thank you so much
KEN, this was EXACTLY the video I needed to see. Dozens of others were just ...noise. You hit the bull's eye so, thanks, good job.
Glad to hear that it helped you...That's what it is all about
You made this look so simple and easy..It saved me lots of time..thanks
This is such a great video. You make it so easy! Thanks!
Because its BULLSHIT !
Where do you buy the this at I don't know what it is called and can you get used one love your videos
Used ones you can check on line. Unfortunately craftsman has sold out and not sure where to look at. It used to be Sears but they are all gone. So Sorry

I did it. It so easy. Now I can bag my leaves. Thanks ken
This helped me out, thanks. Don't have the attachment straps, but I think a bungee cord would work.
Good idea. I will be checking mine out, Thanks ken for the tips
thanks so much, I have a second hand mower with a bagging assy which had some missing parts, but now thanks to you I'm ready to BAG
Thank you for sharing that..so cool to hear..I always hope that these video will help people..and you have proven that so!1
Thanks for the video! This was a great help since the directions for installing my bagger weren't written in "confuse-o".
ha ha..well put...I would like to know who actually writes these directions??
Thank you. I bought a used one and had no manual. This was a big help!

Thanks..I appreciate the comment
Best how to video. Love the close up clips. Thank you.
So glad to hear that it can help..Thanks for the comment.. Good luck with your projects
Wow that was easy.
Ken, I have a John Deer 100 series, does it have to be a JD bagger to fit on mine, or will any one fit?

Bag it and make mulch..Love the idea
Thanks much, I needed to see the rear latch (at 2:20) that came off the bagger to replace it!
Great..So glad it could help....Thanks for the comment
Buddy left me his old craftsman 42 mower with a dual bagger system. Would the craftsman bagger system work with a 42 yard machine by mtd? Thx
Is it okay to take the bagger off every now and then??
Question, will the LT1000 bagger fit YT3000? THank you
Thanks for the video! My mower came with my house and I couldn't figure out how to attach the bagger
cool ..glad it could help
Nice job with this, project well done..
You have saved my life! However does the main tube just line up to the opening or does it have to go inside the opening?
It should go inside...assuming your tube is long enough..Hope this helps
This worked great..I bought a new 2018 craftsman and I was able to use my old bagger.

Awesome thanks for the great video I'm in the process of buying my new bagger now for my new Craftsman riding mower now.
I got lucky..I was able to use my Old Bagger on my new tractor...It worked out great and saved me a little money..
nice easy detail with this
OMG!!!...this was what I was looking for, this will work for my Tractor....perfect..thanks
Good job on putting your wife to work. Good video!

Thanks a million 👌🏻😊👍🏻
Used my new to me mower w bagger for the first time today and the bagger only fills up one container... Do I have to swap containers mid mow??
No..Should not have to change bags.. once the one bag fills the grass clippings should fall into the second bag..
Hi, unfortunately, the holes where the screws for bracket goes are not threaded on my craftsman.. any suggestions on how to rectify that?
Can you get nuts and bolts in there!
This is a long shot but would you be able to give me the dimensions of the bracket as the bagger I bought used didn't have one with it and nobody sell them anymore. :- I have to make my own. Thanks either way.
UGH..so sorry..Sold that mower and my neighbor gave me his new mower when he moved..Its a John deere, could not turn down the price
Thank you. Very helpful video!
Great..so glad it could help...God luck with your projects..
Where do we go for Craftsman's stuff with Sears out of Business....I do see some Craftsmans stuff at Lowes but not the lawnmowers, just the tools??
😄
To bag do you need mulching blades? I have the standard ones. Nice video.
No standard blades are good...Mulching blades just make smaller pieces..
Simple but effective, that's what it is all about.
Awesome. Planning to buy one and this helped me
Ken you are so awesome !!!!
thanks for the comment..Glad it could help you
You guys might have to buy high lift blades if you have mulching blades to increase the lift if you're having trouble picking up
Thanks good to know...I have to change my blades this summer..I will check them out..Thanks
What model was your old mower? Trying to see if mine will fit on my new one.
My Old mower was the 2100, same make Craftsman. Hope this helps
Looks perfect for what I’m wanting

Are baggers universal or do you need yo buy specific brands
Both..You can buy Specific brand for your model, or you can find Universal ones and make then fit..Specific Brand will be easier to install..But both work

@@Backyardprojectguy thank you for the idea!
@@wallacewallace4801 Welcome..I hope it works out..and on another long shot, have tried like an E-bay or other internet for sale sites??
Ken, you don't need to bag the grass most of the time. I only bag a few times a year, when there are leaves to pick up. The rest of the time, I have a mulch plug installed so the clippings are pushed back down onto the lawn. Those clippings act as fertilizer for the grass. Don't throw away good fertilizer.
He mentioned the mulch plug in the video. You probably missed it because you were too concerned with telling Ken what he already knows.
