3 Bag Grass catching systems thorny problems

[jfacts]

Has anyone besides myself experienced repeated housing cracking at the hinges for the Skag 3 bag grass catching systems. I've had this misery on two mowers in a row. Has a permanent 'fix' been invented ? Thanks

I have the same issue. To my knowledge Scag does not offer OE repair kit. I designed and installed a kit myself that has been on my Scag 3 bag system for all of 2024 leaf season in Ohio and have no new or spreading cracks.
