Hi,

My Step Father makes reproduction catchers for both 14" and 17" mowers. Please send a PM for more details.

Cheers
Jason

Hello SB Obsession!

These look like well-made catchers, perhaps better than originals.

I note that the shape is not 'exactly' as a 45 would be, with a sharper angle at the bottom.
I was wondering whether this was deliberate - for strength?

All very interesting.

My step father copied a damaged catcher that I had so I suppose it may not be perfect. They are made out of 0.8mm material which is thicker than original. I will check over the weekend with my original catcher.

It would be deliberate, but not so much for strength.

It's just that using hand/basic techniques, a line fold is a lot easier to form in sheet metal, than an accurate small radius bend.
A bit like the side panels - SB press formed these with a raised centre, to add rigidity to light gauge metal. Very hard/time consuming to duplicate by hand.

A very professionally done repro, all the same.


Cheers,
Gadge

Blumbley I think my Step Dad Dennis could make one the only problem is he would need a template to go off. Once he has that he can start reproducing them. Your in Brisbane which Suburb? If you like you can give me a call.

Hi all I have the first 2 catchers we made which we riveted the catcher to the frame 1 x 14" and 1 x 17" we are letting these go for $100 each if there is anyone interested. The new catchers are spot welded more like the original.

Cheers

Hi Jason, not sure if your still selling the catchers. I'm looking for a 14" Scott Bonnar Bonmow 19 catcher.

Thanks
Chris
