Always protect
your hands while
servicing blades
by wearing heavy
work gloves or using
heavy rags.
The hex flange nut
has a right-handed
thread pattern.
Do not attempt to
force the nut in an
incorrect direction;
it may damage the
nut and create a
safety hazard.
Attaching Blades
WARNING: Always protect your hands
while servicing blades by wearing heavy
work gloves or using heavy rags.
NOTE: Three 2-in-1 (Discharge/Bag) blades, with a star
mounting hole, are included in the grass catcher kit.
These will replace the 3-in-1 (Discharge/Bag/Mulch)
blades already installed on the deck of the tractor. For
better bagging performance, it is recommended that you
install these new 2-in-1 blades included with this kit.
NOTE: Blades with a round mounting hole will be
included with all Cub Cadet kits and are for use with
select Cub Cadet mowers.
To Install Blades: Remove the cutting deck from be-
neath the tractor (refer to instructions for Deck Removal
in your tractor’s operator’s manual), then gently flip the
deck over to expose its underside.
• Place a block of wood between the center deck hous-
ing baffle and the cutting blade to act as a stabilizer.
See Fig. 2-6.
• Use a 1-1/8” wrench to remove the hex flange nut
that secures the blade to the outer blade spindle
assembly. See Fig. 2-6.
WARNING: The hex flange nut has a right-
handed thread pattern. Do not attempt to
force the nut in an incorrect direction; it
may damage the nut and create a safety
hazard.
• Place a new blade on top of the outer blade spindle
so that side of the blade with part number faces the
ground when the mower is in the operating position.
• Secure with the hex flange nut removed earlier. Use a
torque wrench to tighten the hex flange nut between
70 to 90 foot-pounds.
• Replace blades from the other outer and center blade
spindles with the blades from the bagger kit.
NOTE: Save the three blades you just removed to use as
replacements or to reinstall on the blade spindles when
not using the bagger kit.
• Remount the cutting deck following instructions in the
owner’s manual of the tractor.
Install Deck Baffle
• Remove two of the self-tapping deck screws on the
front right side of your deck. See Fig. 2-7.
• Install the front deck baffle using two hex nuts, bel
-
leville washers and hex bolts supplied in this bagger
kit.

• Remove the carriage bolt and lock nut holding the
chute stop to the deck. See Inset A of Fig. 2-8. Save
the hardware.
• Replace with new chute stop bracket, from the bag
-
ger kit, at the same position on the deck. See Inset
B of Fig. 2-8. Secure with the hardware removed
earlier.
NOTE: An extra set of carriage bolt and lock nut have
been supplied in your accessory kit. You may replace
the old hardware for the chute stop bracket with these
new ones, or save for later use.
NOTE: This chute stop bracket may stay on the unit
even when the bagger is not being used.
Attaching Discharge Chute
• Raise the deck to its highest position.
• Raise the chute deflector (A in Fig. 2-9) on the deck
and hold it while you position the discharge chute
over the chute opening.
• Insert the hinge pin of the discharge chute into the
tube on the chute stop bracket. See B in Fig. 2-9.
• Rotate the chute around the deck so that its front
edge fits snugly into the deck opening. Lower the
chute deflector slowly(C in Fig. 2-9).

straps on the discharge chute over the pins on the
chute tube.

your tractor and resume cutting your grass.
