John Deere 54 High-Performance Power Flow Blower Assembly - BM22697

blower and 3 bag collection system works just as it should. a little pricey prob. will do the job.

I bought this for my x485 with the 54c mower deck. It's a bit pricey, but does the job as you would expect. Some things I don't like about it are: - It doesn't make a tight fit around the entire mouth of the deck, which can leak debris. - It needs 2 more short carriage bolts to mount the black deck reinforcing strip cleanly. - The belt shield is super weird to mount and requires undoing the stock anti-scalping wheel mount system. Not sure what they were thinking on that one, but I just left the wheel alone and didn't put the guard on. - I would like to have seen a metal skid plate on the bottom to handle sliding across things better.

Ordered this to use with the new 54” deck I purchased. No issue mounting, you do need to trim a few plastic shield pieces during install depending on the deck your mounting it on. It and seems to do the job with the leaves I’m currently dealing with.
