I still have not replaced my spring as bending the metal is still holding the catcher in place..... There are some good videos about the springs, and taking out the retaining clip seems to be the most difficult part.
@@paulcullen7361 , probably easier to tell you the name of the video.... PushMowerRepair.com - Victa catcher Spring installation. You should at least get some tips from his video if your catcher flap is the same.
Very helpful, have same issue now and came across this as I am trying to understand how to replace spring

@@johnvienta7622 any chance you can share one of them? I just tried bending the pieces down and that isn't the solution for mine

@@johnvienta7622 thanks John. I had already watched that but the pins and rod are totally different, all good I'll keep searching cheers
I've been bending it back every so often, but Im thinking of welding some thicker metal to reinforce as its not a long term solution for me.
Good idea as there seems to be a big difference in the quality of the metal used for the flaps on different brands.
Thsnks
No worries.

I purchased a new flap and spring and mine is still falling off. Any ideas?
Sorry, I am at a bit of a loss to suggest anything.... Is the catcher itself hitting the ground as you mow.
