John Deere bagger assembly and installation 

John Deere should PAY YOU for this video, their instructions are WORTHLESS!! THANK YOU from saving me the frustration and a ruined Sunday afternoon! You are a VIP!!

Excellent! I'm an 81 year old spinster that by necessity does most of the yardwork by herself. The written directions were of no help...this video saved the day! Thank you!

Words can't express how grateful I am that I found your video. I never would have been able to assemble the bagger using the instructions in the manual. You saved me countless hours of tears and frustration. I agree with tart green, John Deere should be paying you for all of their customers that you have helped. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! You are a God! If you were here right now I would blow you!

Thank you! The instruction book was terrible but your video made it go very quickly.

I have a JD E150. I followed your video step by step, pausing, rewinding and playing all the way! Thank you for awesome instructions!

Bless your heart with this video! I agree with most, the instructions are terrible! My husband totally gave up on putting this together (hates reading instructions) so I got the bright idea of hunting for a "How To Video" & I scored with this one. Told my husband to get out of the way & that I would assemble it myself. Yes! Ladies you can put together & install a John Deere bagger all by yourself. I cannot thank you enough James, beautifully done! Just to let you know our mower has a 42" deck & I worked side by side with your 48" deck instructions.

Thank you so much. I had no problem putting it on. Tried the manual and just decided to RU-vid. Instead of taking off mower deck I picked up the back and put it on two blocks. Still was able to take off blade. Had to go to Lowe’s and get 24 mm socket

Your video both showed me that my lower chute was missing the pin that should mount to my deck, and showed me how to make up for that missing pin. Thanks so much for the helpful tutorial! I wish I’d watched this BEFORE struggling with the manual.

God Bless you man for that video....the manual directions were terrible. I installed my bagger watching your video. THANKS a bunch !!!!!!

Didn’t even waste my time with the instructions, straight to this video. All done in the space of 10min ✅ thanks

Great video and fabrication of connections on the Grass catcher where the mower deck was missing holes. Thank you

Thank so much... you are the best straight to the point great camera none of the boring conversations about what your favorite color is or what you had for breakfast that make these videos hours long.

I’ve been watching all kinds of assembly videos. Cribs, dressers, shelves, etc etc. This is by far the only video that I’ve seen where I didn’t have to stress. Everything was clear and to the point. Thanks. I appreciate you

The paper instructions are awful. Thank you for this video! Saved me so much time.

Man the first step in the book had me so confused, I owe you a beer man! Thank you!

I'm with Allen Brown. Who would thumb down this video?? Saved 2 hours of my life.

Happy to know Im not an idiot and that I wasnt the only person who was clueless with the included instructions ! My problem and question was solved within the first 15 seconds of your video!!! Well done and thank you :)

Thank you for this video. My dad just got the riding mower and got frustrated looking at the instructions. Your video helped immeasurably.

One of the most helpful no nonsense how to videos on RU-vid. I hate all the crap people put in their videos that has nothing to do with why I am watching it. This one didn't have some cheesy intro and goofy filler content. Just straight to it. Thanks

Extremely helpful. Thanks for giving me back my day. I got in done under an hour because of your video.

You were a lifesaver!! My dad is 90 and stubborn, so your step by step made it easy for me to help him!!! Thanks😃

Great video! I consider myself semi intelligent with some technical know how, but John Deere products are awful as far as diagrams and design. This video was way more helpful than the manual

The hardest part of the whole thing was step 1 with that stinking screen. Very nice job on video. You saved me much pain and anguish

As commented by others, the manual is not effective. Thanks for sharing you skills. You save me a lot of time as I’m enjoying the bagger and high lift blades.

Your video made my experience 1000 times better! I was stuck on step one until I found this video. Thank you for sharing!!!

I thought this was an excellent presentation. The presentation was easy to follow so I'm ready to go outside and install my bagger.

My friend, you have saved me endless hours of frustration. THANK YOU!. The idiots at Home Depot were no help at all.

Terrific video! Thank you for this, had mine put together and installed no time. Being less than mechanically inclined, this was a HUGE help. I’m feeling empowered enough to try the high lift blade installation now. Cheers.

Great video. I'd drill a hole in that bracket where you need it so the pin goes in for extra security!! thanks for taking the time to do this!!

Super duper video! Much easier to follow your instructions than using the manual. Installed all by myself. Girl power!

Thank you for the great video! I tossed the useless JD instruction manual and instead followed your video step by step. It made the installation super easy and saved me tons of time and headaches.

Will be assembling this later today, appreciate your video, very clear and detailed, thanks!

Thanks so much for making this project easy. I thought it would be a simple job til I got to step 1 in the instructions that were included. If only the instructions were as easy to read as you were to follow. Thanks for taking the time to post this!

Thank you. This by far the best explanation and how to.

We appreciate you taking your time to record the steps!!

Seriously thank you for this ! As everyone else pointed out the instructions are absolutely terrible indeed ! You save me so much time

You are awesome. I couldn't get mine done without your help. You saved my day

Bonjour, je dois vous dire que je n’ai rien compris des instructions qui venaient avec mon ensacher john frère 48 pouces... mais avec vos instructions c’est si simple! Merci! Thank you!

Very clear instruction. Thank you I was looking for your video on how to install the blades for my bagger. Thanks again Alex,

This was super halpful!!! Thanks so much

Make a note that all the nuts with that bagger are lock nuts so they won't vibrate loose. Also,. You could drill a hole in your wheel bracket for the prong to attach like they planned. Nice video. I wondered how entailed the assembly was and this sure helps! Like the other guys said, John Deere should pay you for this nice video................Cheers, Jim

Thank you for the great instructions !! Way better than the directions that came with the bagger.

Thanks for the video, didn't even have to open the manual. Looking forward to seeing how it does with the leaves tomorrow.

Thank you very much, amazing video, easy explanation that help me to install the bagger.

Great video… one helpful thought… There is a metal frame that goes around the hopers screen before you install it and put the three pieces of strap on... You the man

Thanks for making this. Saved me some headaches.

Amazing video, such a big help! Thank-You for this! An hour of trying to read the John Deere instructions were a waste of time. My next task is to try and install the lift blades without removing the deck :-)

Way better then the manual. Thank you for the video!

Thank you for clear instructions. As numerous people have said before, the JD manual was a bit confusing.

Thank you so much!! You saved us so much time and frustration.

You just saved me a ton of time. Cheers

Lifesaving video. A million thanks for making it.

Great job on this. Like you said, manual was vague , especially the screen piece. Very helpful.

Thank you! Just completed in under an hour!!!

Great video! Made installation VERY easy. Thank you so much!

Thanks for taking the time to do this video.

Nice that you even received instructions. Only thing, bolts are 13mm. The days of standard nuts and bolts are long gone.

This video was extremely helpful. Thank you so much. I looked at the manual to make sure I had all parts then just followed you.

Thanks for this video, with this and my tool box, it worked perfectly. Had to remove the guide pin on the chute - same as you did. Instructions are very confusing. Cheerks Mate!

Excellent video. Thank you for posting. Could not have done this without you!

Thank you very much! This was perfect.

Well done. You have a gift for instruction

Took me a while to find your video, but super helpful. Thanks!!!!😄😄😄

Got a used bagger and d140 with 48 inch deck. Previous owner never used the bagger. Got it attached to back of tractor fine but the chute to deck attachment had me puzzled. Now I see and had it attached like you but didn't think that was correct but might work. No holes or obvious place to hook straps. Thought about wrapping a tarp strap around the chute or drill a couple holes in deck.

Thanks for your help man.. I owe you one

Thanks for this fantastic video! I would have been unable to install the bagger if it wasn't for this video. John Deere needs to pull their head out there rear end and provide a decent set of installation instructions.

Thanks James you produced an excellent instruction video. John Deere should pay you, provide a link to your RU-vid site and delete their extremely poor assembly instructions from their manual. Phil Alt

Thanks for making that clip.

Thank you I did it step-by-step as you did pausing it as I went you made it so easy thank you very much my man..

Yes, great video! Who the heck wrote the John Deere manual? It’s horrible. You saved me some time. Thank you.

Great instructions and glad I watched your video before attempting to read the manual. Manual made no sense. Great job!

I'm installing the bagger myself. Thank you for helping this lady gardner.

Thank you you were very helpful, have a great 4th of July 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

This is an excellent instruction video. Thank you. I got this thing on and it was working well until the last time I mowed when the grass was a little damp. The grass was too heavy to travel up the shoot. Has anyone else had this issue?

Added today with Your help. Awesome Indeed.

Better than the directions. Made it easy.

Hi Sir, Thank you for making this video it made the installation very easy, I also have to install the blades that came with it. I will watch your other vid on that, Thanks.

Thanks...it helps me alot more than the manual

Thank you so much! This was a huge help and I really appreciate it!

Great Video Cuz! The grill in the hopper threw me off. JDs technical writers didn't do a great job with the guide. Your video was the first video that showed up in the SERPs. After a couple of seconds I was like I know that voice. Thank you and talk soon, C.S.

Thank you so much! Save me big time!

Great video. JD did a poor job in Engineering the Hopper Screen to the Hopper Top and the directions for doing it were even worse. The place where I purchased the bagger didn't know how it works. Thanks again.

Helped me fix my bagger as well.

U saved me a day best video for sure thanks man

This was a very good video. The instructions from the book were piss poor. This video was great. Thanks

Thank you and John Deere instructions are out to lunch

Thanks for the great video..ordering this next week to install on my JD. Cheers!

This was such a helpful video. Thank you so much.

Ty, was exactly what I was looking for.

Thank you, soooooo incredibly helpful 😁

Very helpful video👍Thank you for your time.

You are amazing :) Thank you very much for saving our life and our time.

Thank you! You made it easy for me!

The instructions were a complete train wreck. Thank you sir!

Awesome! I hope John Deer and RU-vid are paying you well for this video!

First, on those chute straps, drill the proper holes if your tractor doesn't have them. Second, those hooks are designed to put the straight portion of the hook directly through the hole and the bent portion will snap behind the anti scalp bracket when done properly

Good video. And a good job installing the bagger. Why dont you drill a hole to put that pin over the anti scalping wheel ?

The instruction manual was awful. This video saves me so much time. Thank you for putting it together.

Thanks for video very helpful. Awesome presentation

Thanks man! I was looking at this damn screen assembly thinking what the HELL!!!
