You implied that you could not repair it at all. Which, in _your_ case 
(not mine) was probably accurate. It would probably be even harder than 
(gosh!) installing a seatpost.    ;-)

Vaguely related: A good friend has a Sears lawn tractor with huge grass 
bins.*

The large plastic (probably polyethylene) dome-shaped lid for the system 
got cracked. I repaired it for him with a combination of plastic welding 
and aluminum splice plates that I pop riveted into place. It's ugly, but 
it's worked for many years.

*(Actually I have a nearly identical mower, acquired inexpensively from 
a neighbor who moved into Assisted Living. I never use the grass 
catching attachments. But this lawn tractor is really not appropriate 
for my lawn. Mine's as large as his lawn, but my wife's beautiful 
landscaping presents way too many obstacles.)
