What It Is

This is a replacement bagger container (grass collection bag) designed for Craftsman, AYP, and Dixon lawn tractors with 42- to 46-inch cutting decks and 2- or 3-bin bagger systems. It holds clippings from a single bagger bin, allowing you to replace a worn, torn, or missing container without buying a whole new bagger kit.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your tractor has one of these bagger systems: AYP 2-bin or 3-bin baggers (often found on Craftsman, Husqvarna, Poulan, and Dixon models). The container fits bagger models using OEM part numbers 532400226, 400226, 960730028, 966529103, or 960730019.
Critical checks:

• Deck width must be 42–46 inches (measure from blade tip to blade tip).
• The container attaches via two metal hooks and a latch—measure the hook spacing on your existing bracket (roughly 8–10 inches apart).
• If you have a 3-bin system, you’ll need two or three of these containers to replace all bins.
• Does not fit older Craftsman baggers with round or non-standard mounting brackets—verify your bracket shape matches the rectangular top frame.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Heavy-duty polyester fabric with a plastic stiffener at the top; similar to OEM, but the zipper and seams may be less durable than genuine Craftsman bags. Avoid overfilling to prevent seam stress.
• Installation: Simple—hook the metal loops over your bagger frame’s hooks, then snap the latch. No tools required. Expect 5 minutes per bin.
• Common gotcha: The container is slightly smaller than some OEM bags. If your previous bag was a tight fit, this one may leave a 1–2 inch gap at the bottom, causing clippings to spill out. Check your frame dimensions against the product listing (typical bin height is 14–16 inches).
• Warranty: Most aftermarket bags have a 30-day return window, not a multi-year warranty. Inspect for loose stitching immediately.

Should You Buy It

If you have a compatible AYP/Craftsman 42-46 inch tractor with a worn or missing bagger bin, this is a cost-effective replacement for OEM bags that often cost $40–$60 each. It’s best for light to medium use (2–3 acres per season) where you don’t need heavy-duty commercial construction. For heavy mowing or frequent full-bin dumping, consider a thicker OEM bag to avoid early seam failure.
