Getting ready for fall clean up
 

I have been looking for a bagger for my 3205 and found that only the fan assisted type will work. I had no luck finding one until last week when this showed up on CL. I got the 3165 tractor, 48" deck and fan assisted bagger all for $400. The tractor turns over but the 16 HP Vanguard won't run and shows 649 hours on the meter. Is there anything I need to be looking for when I start working on the engine? Does anybody have one of these baggers and are they any good?

The Vanguards are pretty simple. Check the fuel shut down solenoid, do you have spark, is the carb clean, compression check, is it getting fuel to the carb? Carb can be cleaned by removing the top. Don’t know anything about the bagger. My theory on cleaning up cuttings is God put them where he wanted them so I leave them alone, LOL :biggrin2:

Thanks Sam. I didn't do anything yet because work is getting in the way of Cub wrenching :bash2: plus I'm pullin out and heading to Midland NC sometime Friday. I have a Vanguard on a generator and that engine is awesome.

from what ive heard those are really good tractors. make the yard look very nice. good luck with it, hope its something simple.

Nice find, Todd!

Nice find, and a great price, I'm sure you'll have it running in no time.

Looks good for the money. Bet it wasn;t cheap when new!
