Witch engine do you have a Magnum or a K-Series. 1985 and 1986 had a K-series, and 1987 up had Magnums.

Thactors ?

     I had corrected the misspelling months ago, but forgot to delete the bad one.       Guess which one I clicked on?    

It is gone now!

Kohler built your engine in 1987 so the tractor should be a 1988 model number E1-12K801. Click on the picture.

You may want to remove the engine covers, looks like there is some  grass accumulation there. That could lead to overheating.

The attachment list shows two vaccuum baggers (typo for vacuum?) model numbers 07-42VB91 and 17-42VB91 which are in a format consistent with Wheel Horse model numbers but see nothing on them. They required a 42" side discharge deck. Perhaps these were sourced in Europe as we have seen other attachments that were not available in North America.

The D&A is the tractor details and Attachment list you can download. Click on the fuzzy picture.

The belt driven rear mounted vacuum we are familiar with was available for the C-Series tractors before the 300-Series tractors. Click on the pictures.

For a 5 cubic foot cart

For a 10 cubic foot cart

The belt driven vacuums we are familiar with after 1984 had the blower mounted on the mower deck and was driven by a double pulley added to the right mower spindle.
