Was enjoying the continued use of this machine when, a couple of months ago, the catcher started falling off! Like lightening I deduced that the rivets holding one side of the flap had broken loose.
After using it a couple of times with no catcher I got round to replacing the rivets with some lovely little stainless nuts and bolts.Started using it again and catcher still dropping off.

After another couple of uses without the catcher my meagre brain worked out that I hadn't retensioned the coil spring on the flap that apparently assists in keeping the catcher in place. Thing is it was good using it without the catcher sometimes with no spring tension as with no tension on it the flap would just open a bit to let some cuttings through and keep things clear.What's a good way to keep that flap open a bit if you want to use without the catcher?

Hi Danny,
most people just tie the flap up a bit with a piece of cord or anything they can find. I assume you have got the spring working now.

I know it's working now Norm 'cause it bit me while I was doing the new nuts and bolts up.
