Bagging assembly for a riding lawn mower

摘要

A bagging assembly for a riding lawn mower including a mower deck having a grass discharge conduit extending upwardly and rearwardly therefrom. The bagging assembly includes a support for supporting a pair of grass collection bags thereon together with a hood which is selectively movably disposed above the bags. The support structure includes an elongated, horizontally disposed cross-beam having a bag-supporting frame secured thereto which extends rearwardly therefrom. A flexible seal is secured to the cross-beam along the length thereof and is also secured to the lower forward end of the hood to prevent grass clippings from falling downwardly and forwardly through the space normally found between the lower forward end of the hood and the support structure. When the hood is in its closed position, the flexible seal engages the upper forward portions of the grass collection bags to maintain the bags in position.
