Hi Max, another option is to cut one side of the catcher down to fit in the narrow chute, I have done that once before but I had to rivet a piece of metal on the underside of the catcher to strengthen it up It was a fairly simple conversion and the mower hasn't come back so I guess it is catching ok.
With the new Honda motor, I did suggest to him that we could pick up a Honda with a blown gearbox for probably $200/250 but he said he didn't want to chase around after something second hand. His mower is 3 years old and as he is mowing lawns he needs a reliable mower and what would he do with the base which he had recently put a new gearbox in. Sometimes you just have to bight the bullet.
