I'm new here and new to John Deere so bare with me.
I just bought a new D140 a few days ago and bought the 48" bagger to go with it.
When trying to install the lower chute that attaches to the mower deck there is not a hole for the front post to go through the deck wheel bracket and no hole or bracket on the back side of the deck to attach the clip on the rubber strap to.
The manual mentions something about drilling a hole on the wheel bracket using the template in the manual but the template doesn't even match the wheel bracket on my mower. Not only that but I don't even know where to drill or hook the back of the chute too...
The box and manual both state that it should fit on my mower. Clearly the deck design has changed, is there a newer model bagger that i'm unaware of?
OR
Do I just need to try lining it up and drill a hole where it looks like it should be? I don't want to start drilling holes in my mower deck and mess something up.
Any advice would be very helpful.
Thanks guys!
