Husqvarna Zero turn bagger project

Hi all,

I just signed up for the forum. Over the winter I picked up a used Z4818BIA zero turn mower. I love the mower but it needed a bagger kit. They are discontinued so I found a complete kit for the garden tractor and have retro-fitted it to my zero turn. It took a little fabrication to mount the support, but it tested very well on my first cut - with one exception...

The tube to the bagger is too short. I imagine this is expected. My collection cans are mounted as close as possible to the engine so I figure there must be longer tubes available.

Can anyone provide part numbers for the contents of the 48 inch bagger kits? I have not been able to find any kits on line.

My first attempt was to extend the tube with some plastic but it was not supportive enough.

Thanks for any ideas.
Greg
