Walker Mower 20 HP Grass Catcher

[Jocco]

Mower is 10 yrs old and only problem has been with grass catcher exhaust flap catching on shrubs and assuming permanent bend upwards. This results in the operator and seat being covered with grass clippings. The flap hinge (aluminum) seems flimsy and contributes to problem. Anyone else have this complaint? Jocco

WELCOME to LMF

I moved your thread to the Walker Forum. :smile:

I tied mine down with bungee cords.

Did you use one on each side or one long one over the whole flap? Thanx

We used 2 straps on one of the Walkers(front to back). On another we decided one from front to back in middle of box. Either one works well.

Thanks for sharing your solutions. Our Walker is stored for winter but I'll modify the flap come spring.
BTW the original battery (2001) still working......maybe thanks to Battery Tender over winters.

We have our Walkers stored in our shop. Since we are at the shop everyday we start and run all our equipment for at least 15 min at least once a week. We also keep all batteries on trickle chargers.
