Tow behind leaf vac
Hi y'all, I'm hoping someone has some info or experience with a Parker Conestoga trail vac, very similar to the attached picture, year unknown. I recently acquired this leaf vac though I'm not sure how to attach the boot from the vac to the mow deck on my Cub. I have a 44A deck. Does anyone have experience with this piece of equipment or currently use a tow behind leaf vac that can help explain or show how to attach the "universal" boot from the vac to the deck? Thank you

I've had a lawn vacuum attached to a CC 42", 44", 46" mower deck. All of them used a hose adaptor that bolted to the deck as described here. No need for the outrigger wheel shown in your photo.
The leaf vacs that used the pull behind trailer had a swinging boom mounted to hold the vacuum hose off the ground. I use bungee cords. I use this type hose. It's light, durable and not as expensive as some. You can buy it cheaper than what's shown in this ad. https://wholesalehoses.com/flexadux-.../whlcdc-08-10/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGTyvKbQba4

I have made the attachment for past tractors out of steel duct material. I have also altered one of the newer plastic style ones to fit old decks.
I may have them in shed still. If I can find them I will snap a pic for you to reference.

Some great info, thank you. Here's a few pics of what I have, maybe someone can make sense of it or have some ideas on fabrication?

What is there that you don't understand? The opening in the adapter needs to be wide enough to capture the width of the mower deck discharge. Drill two holes in the top of the deck and bolt it on.
PS. I can't see how big the opening is in your hose adapter.

Remove the grass deflector from your deck. Remove the two L shaped rods from the two brackets on the boot. Cut the opening in the boot as needed to allow the boot to fit over the discharge end of your deck. Once you're happy with how it fits, drill two holes through your deck in alignment with the holes in the brackets where the L shaped rods were and bolt the boot to the deck.
Keep the goofy wheel as your deck needs the extra support. My leaf vac boot has helped destroy 2 deck trailing wheels already and the rear trailing wheel bracket is prone to failure. Just my 2 cents.

Lol, you guys are too funny! I will keep the goofy or not so goofy wheel, I was planning this same idea as twoton has mentioned, though I wasn't completely sure there wasn't something I was missing that did not require drilling into the deck. Cooperino, I will also add a threaded conduit as a support arm in the existing spot. Thank you all, always appreciate the ideas in this forum, that's why I ask!

I had to drill holes in my deck to attach my boot and I added two pieces of plate steel to back up the bolts to reinforce that area.
I was thinking about adding a goofy wheel to mine but had not figured it out yet so thank you for the idea!

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
