Craftsman hard bagger with Troy Bilt Pony Mower?

Hi,

This is our first time buying a lawn mower. We went for the low end Troy-Bilt 17-1/2-HP Pony 42" Cut Lawn Tractor,

Item #: 288803,Model: PONY from Lowes:

http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=288803-270-PONY&lpage=none

This has Automatic transmission so we decided on this one over some other Craftsman models available at Sears.

Our dilemma is that Lowes offers a "soft" bagger - the one that has those nylon mesh bags, which we believe will have dust/durability issues.

On the other hand, Sears offers hard baggers with comparable pricing:

Craftsman 9 Bushel 3 - Bin Hard Bagger for 42 in. Deck Item# 07124898000 Model# 24898

or

Craftsman 6 Bushel 2 - Bin Hard Bagger for 42" Deck Item# 07124897000 Model# 24897

Our question is whether the hard baggers from Craftsman will fit the Troy Bilt Pony tractor mower.

We tried to call Sears but no one could give a definitive answer. Knowing nothing about tractor mowers nor owned one ever before in our lives, we don't know what to do.

Being a regular on the other gardening forums and learnt a lot from them, we are hoping someone can help answer our question here on the tractor forum.

Any advice for us would be greatly appreciated!
