1211 bagger / discharge chute question

jme5343 · #1 04-19-2014, 10:34 PM

So Ray found me a good used bagger for my 1211 and I got around to installing the plate and mounting bracket, making some minor improvements to the bags and the cover.

However, when it came time to attach the chute, it didn't go that well, it's not matching up - it doesn't fit inside, nor does it go over the outside, with a gap at the back (picture 4) and about an inch of gap all along the bottom (picture 2)- not to mention I don't really see how to secure the chute (picture 3).
I feel like the air being bypassed is leading to some clogging and some poor pickup of material, though I could be wrong. If nothing else, the gap allows a lot of debris to bypass and bounce up (picture 4 again), meaning I have serious concerns about catching a stick or acorn in the face / eye (yes, I wear my safety glasses).

Deck is a 46" model # 336.

Can anyone offer some advice? Thanks in advance!

Some photos to try and show what I'm saying:

Hard to tell from the pics, but was the discharge on your deck cut off by a PO?

Reference the attached pic, I believe there should be more of a "chute" coming off of your deck but I could be wrong. I could be totally off base, wait for someone else to chime in who can confirm.

Edit: I know the attached pic isn't of your deck, just a pic I found that I could use as a reference to what I was talking about.

Upon looking up your deck and checking parts diagrams, it seems I may have spoken too soon. Are you sure you have the right bagger for your deck? Something really looks off there...sorry I couldn't be more help!

Near as I can tell the 1211 was not offered with that particular deck. Nor was the bagger offered for that tractor. So, it's going to be impossible to tell anything unless we know the model number of the deck and the bagger assembly. Or at least what tractor model they might have came off of. From the looks of it, the bagger chute is not made for that particular deck.

Thanks for all the responses.

Deck, as mentioned in original thread is a 336 46" deck. J-Mech, you're correct that it wasn't an original offering. It was, however, the deck on it when I purchased it. The bagger, as close as I can find, is 190-335-100, but I can't find any distinguishing marks or numbers to confirm.

I'm hopeful that it's as simple as finding the correct discharge chute to use with the rest of the bagging apparatus.

Edit: I *think* I'm looking for a 731-0925C discharge chute.

The one I have measures only 5" high and varies width from 10" at the top to 12" at the bottom. I'm still searching for something with measurement info so I can be sure it's the correct chute.
