Leaf blower

I set up my 716H to vacuum leaves this summer.  I purchased the AC system Blower from an eBay supplier, and rigged up the rest of the system using surplus sheet metal for the Deck Boot and furnace piping, and built a tent type cover over a small garden trailer.  It works great.  Spent about 500$

AC was way ahead of the competition when they brought these systems forward in the sixties/seventies.  There are some very pricey trailer type leaf vacuum systems on the market, and lots of YouTubes examples of these and DIY systems 

Here are some threads I used for info/ideas 

Hope this helps you 

The last Thread on my first note has reference to another leaf collection system made by Peco which has the PTO driven Blower and a Bag mounted on the back of the tractor.  Perhaps this is what you have purchased

Here is an AC 712H with a Vacuum Leaf System mounted on the tractor.  It looks to be the Peco design.  Several pics showing the rear mounted collection bag.  The seller might have some additional info

Looks to be in very good shape, (and priced accordingly)

Good luck with your leaf vacuum setup.

I am looking forward to the leaf collection benefit and as well the longer term mulch product from the old leaves once they have been in the dump pile for a year or two.  The mower deck and the blower really chews up the leaves, and should speed up the mulch transition into leaf mould, which is great for gardens and flower beds

I have the same blower system the 712H has. My plan is to mount it on my 716H. Well, that's the plan........  LOL!
