Hello Everyone, Here is what I'm trying to accomplish. I have a Kubota BX 2200. I just got a great deal on a Kubota GCK 23 BX Lawn Vacuum. My issue is how to put the two together and make it work. When we removed it from the more modern BX it did not fasten to the 3 point hitch. (I think) . My BX 2200 has a 3 point hitch . Are there some brackets that are used in place of the 3 point? Also, I need an owners manual for the vacuum. (please don't recommend the dealer). Thanks

BX2660 with LA243 FEL and Front mount BX2750 snowblower/2763A heated Curtis cab.
That model does mount to the 3pt hitch but uses the lift arms in a fixed position so you can lower and raise the mmm without the bagger going up and down. I have the newer GCK60-23BX and it came with plates and a new adjustable LH lift arm so you can fix mount it. Also the lift arms get flipped around to allow the arms to widen to mount the bagger. You probably need those brackets and adjustable LH lift arm to make it work.
I have made (some) progress on my quest to mate up my BX2200 with GCK 60 23BX Vacuum. Acquiring the owners manual was a great help. Attaching it requires removing the three point hitch and installing the brackets in the photo. Assuming this model vacuum is compatible with the BX2200. I need the part number of the brackets. Also, there are brackets that fasten the boot to the deck. Surprisingly there are a number of other inquiries about hooking up the vacuum in the forum. Thanks

Update: Contacted the parts guy at my closest Kubota dealer today. He identified the brackets and quoted the price. 200 bucks! ouch!
