• Fits with 14, 16, and 18-inch width reel mowers

• Acutal width is 19.5-inches

• Reel mower grass catcher prevents grass from being strewn across the lawn

The American Lawn Mower Company reel mower grass catcher prevents grass from being strewn across the lawn. For durability this grass catcher sports a plastic bottom, polyester rot-resistant fabric, and a heavy-duty wire frame. It features a galvanized steel bottom and adjustable attached hooks. The grass catcher conveniently folds down for easy storage. It fits with 14-, 16-, and 18-inch hand mowers.

This thing needs a serious redesign, start with the attachment clips...

Useable...I suppose.,  Jun 26, 2006 By J. A. Connolly "connokeys"
I purchased this grass catcher to use with my new Scotts Classic 20" reel mower. The mower's great. The catcher isn't. The fit is...well...iffy. It snaps easily enough on the bar above the rear roller assembly, where it awaits the most inopportune moment to detach itself. I've found the best way to counter this is to lift up on the handle when pulling back on the mower, thereby avoiding telescoping the grass catcher (and dumping the cuttings back on your lawn). However, the mower cannot be pushed with the handle raised even slightly or the clippings will spill forward out of the catcher. Also, on every path or so it's necessary to reach down behind the blades and sweep the grass toward the back of the catcher: otherwise there isn't enough room for the next batch.

I guess this thing will have to do, as I have yet to locate a better device. But I'm looking.

Barely Adequate  Mar 31, 2003 By Mark Pickard
After using this catcher, I'm now looking for an alternative. I bought it with the Scott's mower, and they were clearly not designed to work together. The attachment to the rear bar is not positive, and comes off frequently, and is cumbersome to attach. I long for the old days, and my fathers reel mower with a catcher that lasted for my entire youth. Easy on/off, and cought all the clippings. How hard could this be?

Imperfection w/ Lots of Flaws: Keep your Receipt!  Aug 25, 2003 By Conor J. McGaley
For such an easy and simple need this catcher falls really short of its' usefulness. This is one of those times where the concept on paper doesn't convert in to a real functioning end product. The problem is the catcher does not stay in place on the transverse bar on the mower. The plastic grip on the catcher is not capable of holding the catcher to the mower. Even the Scott's rep admitted that this thing is useless. I tried using Velcro straps tied around the bar and through the plastic base of the catcher to secure it in place. That worked but the catcher is then not easily removed for dumping of the clippings. Also the little sewn on holder for the vertical bar that keeps the catcher fully opened ripped off. Though this is amazingly flawed I have to make it work since I don't want clippings left on the ground. But I have my eye out for a better catcher. Good luck. Be Patient if there is nothing better you can find. And when you do find something better let me know and be sure to return the old flawed one.
