For the 2013 model year, the fan speed has been increased on Gravely commercial baggers. The change in RPM is achieved by changing the diameter of the double pulley on the right-side deck spindle that drives the blower. The new double pulley is identified by its gold-colored finish. The earlier version of the double pulley is black. The blower fan assembly has been changed to account for this faster fan speed. It is not recommended to speed up previous commercial baggers, 892040 and 891004.
New part numbers have been created and are found in the 2013 price list. The 892047 3-Bucket Grass Bagger replaces the 892040 Grass Bagger for current and previous Pro-Turn 200 and Pro-Turn 400 models. A new 2-bucket grass bagger, 891006, has been developed for use with the new Pro-Turn and the Pro-Turn 100 series.
The new Pro-Turn 48, Pro-Turn 52, and Pro-Turn 60 models are already manufactured with the new spindle pulleys and are ready for the 891006 bagger. On Pro-Turn 100, 200 and 400 series models, the new pulleys were phased into production beginning with serial number 021000.
When installing the 891006 or 892047 Grass Bagger on Pro-Turn 100, 200 or 400 series models with a serial number below 21000, it is necessary to change the right-side spindle double pulley and, in some cases, the right-side belt cover. See the chart on the next page for the required extra parts.
