Anyone have pics or info in the pre 83 (fuel tank under hood) bagger setup? I have the chute and lid, no bag and cant see how one would even attach. After 82 the tank moved to the back and uses a different/higher bagger assembly.

How did you get the drive belt off the front pulley?

I’m having starting issues with mine I picked up ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD! 😂❤ guy had it labeled free and helped me load it into my truck! Think it may be a fuel pump issue. Slapped a battery on it changed oil and put fresh gas in it today. Any idea where to get a replacement fuel pump?

Its a 1982 I have one just like it and I'm having a problems with the steering arm going in between the gear box and the front wheel the bar keep falling off do you now how to fix it?

As long as you’re cutting needs are modest those are a great little unit I have the 87th one ever made. yours is also an early model it has the manual PTO they quite quickly changed it to an electric PTO

I've got a 108 myself that I'm finally getting around to getting running again so I'd love to see how yours comes out!

I have a newer generation 108. The serial number plate is on the right side panel instead of directly under the steering wheel. The gas tank is under the seat instead of over the engine. I've done some fairly extensive steering column work. Wish I'd taken pictures and video.

Most likely a 79, has a manual pto.
