Use a push mower?

Did you ever have trouble with grass getting clogged? Try this.

Materials needed:

A small bit of wire, maybe from a coat hanger since it's pretty strong.
Some thick string, maybe nylon chord or something.

Tools:

A drill and drill bit, about 1/4" (to drill a hole near the end of the discharge flap.... thingy).

Needlenose-Pliers (to bend and cut the wire).


Put a small loop of wire through the hole you drilled in the discharge flap. Tie one end of the rope/string to this small loop.

Place another piece of wire around the upper part of the mower (see the attached pic). You'll want it to be secure, but have a loop where you can run the string/rope through.

Finally, tie the other end of string up by where you push the mower (preferably on the side).


If you happen to notice no clippings are ejecting - pull the string to raise the flap. You may need to move the mower around a bit, but the clog almost always discharges.


From me to my fellow MAMEWorld Bros.

ETA: And as always, wear safety glasses!
