Agri-Fab 62468 Adapter, Mow-N-Vac

I made a sled for my adapter to set on. See pictures. The metal cost more than the adapter. You will need to use an 8" coupler if using with a DR Power leaf and grass vacuum. I used a heat gun to soften the coupler and mold it over the adapter. 4 #10 nuts and bolts holds the coupler in place. Now you have the 8" outlet that you need

good instructions to adapt good value and fit

Bought this to put on my cub cadet rzt50 so I could use my yard vacuum. It worked perfectly!!! Now I can get leaves up in record time and not work as hard. Great buy and a lot cheaper than what lawnmower or home improvement stores wanted to charge!

I bought this so I could get my new DR Lawn Vac up and running with my Husqvarna YTH 22V46. The pattern that came with it worked quite well and the adapter mated up quite well with the mower. My DR Vac shows up a few days later and I discover that the 8" hose that comes with the vac is to big for the adapter (I made the mistake of assuming that since most of the vacs I looked at had either 6" or 8" hoses, that the larger fitting on the adapter was for an 8" hose- it's not, it's somewhere around 7" diameter). If you have a lawn vac that uses a 6" hose shouldn't be a problem. I was fortunate to find a local shop that had a 8" to 6" reducer they connected it with a short piece of hose and clamped it down, and it works great- just wish Agri-Fab would have provided a little more detail on the description. Otherwise once properly fitted, it works quite well- the guy at the shop was impressed with how good the fit was based on the pattern.

Heavy duty material, price seems rather high for a piece of plastic. Once cut out fit nicely and does the job very well.

After all the work you put in to mounting it to your mower all the leaves and yard debris just get stuck in this part. It clogged up with in 2 min of use. After cleaning it out it worked again for about 2 more minutes of use. I do not recommend purchasing this product as a homeowner to use it on a zero turn mower as a way to mulch and collect leaves in your yard. It will not work in the orientation.

The boot from John Deere was $450. Tried this kit. In about an hour I was able to cut it and fit it to my 54” auto connect deck on my 1025r.

Although I have not installed the product on my riding lawnmower I can say it appears to be a quality product and I don’t anticipate having a issue installing it on my mower. I like that it came with the mounting hardware.
