Product Description
Rid Your Lawn Of Debris with This Craftsman Riding Mower Attachment
The Craftsman soft top vac riding mower attachment quickly and easily cleans up lawns. The heavy-duty yard vacuum attaches to the back of a tractor, picking up debris while you mow. The powerful vacuum pulls leaves, grass clippings, pine needles, acorns, pine cones and other debris into the soft top bagger with 80 mph of suction. The vacuum hose connects to the mower's cutting deck and increases collection capacity more than three times a standard 3-bin bagger. Get more done with fewer stops to unload in less time. The unique retractable top creates a wide opening for unloading, making it easier to clear the lawn and dispose of the debris. The retractable top also makes it easy to use the cart as an all-purpose hauling solution too.
This Craftsman riding mower attachment is powered by a 205cc Briggs & Stratton® engine. It includes a universal deck adapter kit with templates that can be custom fit to your mower. And the rugged, single-point tow hitch and pin don't interfere with the tractor's fender.

I was totally amazed at how well this works, great suction and was able to do my entire property in less than half the time it normally took. Also the fact that I could then dump it in the compost pile with little effort saved me additional time and labor... very happy with purchase

After attaching the device the motor started on teh first pull. the vacuum works well. Assembly is a nightmare. the instructions were difficult but I muddled through pretty well until I got to the plastic adapter for attaching to the tractor. I used a key hole saw and cut out the adapter exactly according to plan and pattern for my tractor. Unfortunately when I went to connect the adapter it was totally wrong including cutting 2 additional holes for castor wheels my cutting deck did not have. After duct taping the holes and making my own connection for the adapter with parts supplied and some found in my workbench I adapted the adapter. My advice is to ignore the directions for the adapter and cut your own guide by putting a piece of newspaper over the tractor deck after you remove the deflector shield. Drill holes after you get the adapter near where it has to attach and then bolt, screw, attach what you need to get it to stay in place. Remember it needs some flexibility. good luck

Bought this in Fall 2010 to do the leaves. A month later the engine shaft snapped off, between the impeller and the engine, for no apparent reason other than maybe the shaft was too narrow for the weight of the impeller. Had it on extended warranty so Sears repairmen replaced the engine and impeller for free, even upgraded it from a 5.5HP Briggs 5/8" shaft to a 9HP Briggs with a 3/4" shaft. I'm happy with that. Notes: 1. The soft top lowers the price to what I call affordable, but there are issues. The top does an accordian foldback when you want to empty leaves, and the wire ribs tend to collect a helluva lot of grass & leaves that don't fall out when you tip it back. You have to get in there with your hands and pick it all out - a pain. 2. I can see that the fabric top is going to be my next maintenance project as it tends to wear out over time, even when stored indoors as mine is. My warranty lapses in Dec 2012 so I'm planning to replace it with a DIY plywood box.

I am a cripple and it took me 2 days top assemble but once it was together and I tried it, it was great, picked up the leaves and grass as it should starts with 1/2 a pull and that is good as I said I am a cripple bad neck and back. I just wish the wagon was bigger as I have 2 acres and I have to empty it often but i does a great job. Also this product even though it is sold by Sears it is an Agra Fab product.
