Well, I finally am able to use the 2nd valve for something on my G2160 that was the center discharge bagger. We have removed the bagger and got a regular 54" that works great. Had the valve for the dump of the bagger just looped. Well, now I can use my aerator on the G2160 as I have hydr lift on it. Got some couplers, a couple of longer hoses w/elbows and made a mount. It works great, looking forward to using this fall.

Interesting. I have a G2160 with bagger but AFAIK no such valve??? Where is the valve and control lever?

It was a G2160DS so it had the rear discharge deck w/the chute going up between the 2 rear wheels and the bagger that when you stroked the 2nd valve, it would dump the bagging system. We have taken that all off and replaced the deck (it was shot) w/a standard 54" side discharge deck, that is how this had the 2nd valve.

I found it, it had the GDK500-DS grass catcher w/the RCK48R-21G deck if you want to see the parts listing. The 2nd valve lever sets just outside of where the lift lever for the deck. It was basically a dedicated machine to mow and bag ever time. The GDK500-DS parts manual shows the 2 spool hydr valve and the plumbing for the 2nd cylinder.
