Lawn tractor model 247.288851 (craftsman) and

Do you a plate to attack to back of tractor with 4 bolts.

go to sear online and call up ur parts

if the hood does not have provision for a catcher connection , then it is something you will have to devise how to do
if it has the connections then get the catcher and connect it up

Make and model are important and would help. Generally they are pretty simple. Some older models you had to bolt a mounting bracket to the rear corner of the frame and then a support slipped into the bracket. Some newer models have a drop in feature (these have rounded ridges on the back of the frame and have horizontal slots cut in them). On these the support bar simply drops into the horizontal slots then a swinging bar slips into 2 holes on the fenders to support the rearward hanging weight. The most important part is getting the right bagger model for your model. If it is a very old model that discharges grass out the back of the deck you may have a hard time finding a bagger at all. If you have a side discharge just make sure you are getting the right version for your tractor. If your tractor has a smooth flat back you need the version that has a bolt on mounting bracket. If it has the rounded vertical humps you need the newer version.

Clean out your chute also and don't let the catcher get so filled up, check it for readiness to empty more often.Don't cut wet grass that tend to stick and cause trouble. Good Luck...709

Yes, but not sure if they make one to fit that model any longer

Try this linke to husqvarna http://www.husqvarna.com/us/landowner/accessories/product-accessories/tractor-accessories/triple-bagger/

This should fit, and look at the tab for where to buy. (I wouldn't want to empty all that grass)

If you went to www.searspartsdirect.com, like I did, You found no references to a bag for this mower. It is the same as a Murray rear engine rider and I have not seen a Grass Catcher made for one of them either.

Assuming that you have the correct grass catcher..... Install the discharge deflector at the deck discharge. This is the smaller piece that bends 90 degrees. It will slide into clips on the deck when you have the deck's plastic deflector raised up. Next, install the bagging assembly. It's pretty straightforward. Lastly, install the plastic chute (tube). Push it in the grass catcher (bagger) opening, and then pivot it over the deflector and down onto it to seat it. Connect the straps.
