| Just inherited a Yard Bug Riding Mower, (Model 13B-325-401), Used only one summer. Excellent shape, kinda Fun! On the Grass Bag there is what the Manual calls a "Grass Fill Level Indicator". Mine only has the black rubber gromet, but no other functioning parts. The manual talks about a ball that drops as soon as the hopper is full (due to air flow). I know this thing is pretty cheap to buy, $13.66. The cut sheets show my gromet but no other working parts? Anybody got one of these? How is it configured? Does it really work?
Thanx, |

| Unfortunately, I own one. You'll come to know why I say "unfortunately" soon enough. I bought it new, and the grass fill level indicator never made any attempt to work. It wasn't a big deal to me - not worth taking the machine in for an attempted repair. The only other person I know who has a Yard Bug says his indicator never worked either. |

| Thanks, Thats what I figured. I'm just going to sell mine. You mind if I ask what you paid new? |

| New, about 10 years ago was around $1,200. Not a very good investment. |

| The "Grass Fill Level Indicator" is a yellow ping pong ball. However, you may use a white ping pong ball if you desire. The ball floats on a stream of air until the grass bin is full and then it settles down into the gromet located on top of the bin. There is a small window on the bug cover just in front of the seat to view the ball. It's a very simple system and works very well. |
