A thermoplastic resin composition comprising a propylene polymer component, a styrene-containing elastomer component and talc. The propylene polymer component may be an ethylene-propylene block copolymer, polypropylene resin, a mixture of at least two propylene polymers each having different melt flow rate. The styrene-containing elastomer may be an elastomeric styrene-containing block copolymer represented by the following formula (I) or (II): ##STR1## wherein PS is a polystyrene block, PEB is a poly(ethylene-butene) block and m is an integer of 1 or more. Also, the styrene-containing elastomer may be a mixture of the elastomeric styrene-containing block copolymers having different melt flow rates.

A lawn mower has a cutter blade rotatable in a substantially horizontal plane, and a cutter housing with the cutter blade being rotatably accommodated therein, the cutter housing comprising an upper wall having a raised scroll, and a circumferential wall having a discharge duct contiguous to the scroll and defining a discharge port. A first inner member is detachably disposed along inner surfaces of the upper and circumferential walls of the cutter housing, the first inner member having an inner surface of arcuate cross section. A second inner member is detachably disposed in the discharge duct contiguously to the first inner member in closing relationship to the discharge port, the second inner member being separate from the first inner member and having an inner surface of arcuate cross section.

A riding lawn mower comprises a frame supported by wheels, a mower housing carried at the underside of the frame, a plurality of cutter blades located within the mower housing to cut grass, a collection bag mounted on the rear of the frame, a discharge chute extending between the mower housing and the collection bag and defining a clipping path from the cutter blades into the collection bag, a blower including an impeller housing attached to the mower housing and an impeller located within the impeller housing and cooperating with the butter blades to convey the grass clippings into the collection bag through the discharge chute. A short conduit connects the impeller housing to the upstream end of the discharge chute to conduct an air generated by the impeller into the discharge chute. A central axis of the conduit is offset downwardly from a central axis of the discharge chute.

A grass bag attachment for a lawn mower mounted on and disposed below a tractor having a chassis. The grass bag attachment includes a pair of spaced brackets adapted to be mounted on a rear end of the chassis, a support post composed of a pair of spaced, substantially vertical portions and a cross portion joining the vertical portions at upper ends thereof, the vertical portions having respective lower ends detachably connected to the brackets, respectively, by pins, and a plurality of grass bags having front central portions supported on the support post.

Grass bag attachment for combination lawn mower and tractor

A grass cutting height indicator in a combination of a lawn mower and a power-driven tractor having an operator's seat, including a lawn mower unit suspended from a tractor frame of the tractor, an adjusting lever disposed adjacent to the operator's seat, and a link mechanism operatively connected between the adjusting lever and the lawn mower unit for adjusting the height of the lawn mower unit above ground in response to operation of the adjusting lever. The indicator comprises an indicator member mounted on the link mechanism and having indicia for indicating grass cutting heights, and an indicator window defined in a tractor body adjacent to the operator's seat, the indicator member being positioned so that the indicia has at least a portion thereof facing the indicator window.
