MATERIAL COLLECTION SYSTEM A front mount mower is provided with a side-mounted material collection system including a frame which is supported on a caster wheel. A support shaft is coupled to right front wheel of the mower vehicle by means of an adapter hub held in place by the wheel mounting studs and lug nuts. A stiffener strut includes a sleeve mounted on the shaft through means of bearings which permit the shaft to rotate freely relative to the sleeve, the sleeve being welded to the forward end of a tube having its rearward end received on a pin fixed to a mounting plate bolted to the vehicle frame. The forward end of the frame of the collection system includes a member having a u-shaped collar at its forward end which is releasably secured to the sleeve by means of fasteners, this collar permitting the frame to move up and down relative to the sleeve. The working width of the vehicle equipped with the collection system is substantially the same as that of the vehicle without the collection system attached thereto.
