Abstract
A leaf raking attachment for a conventional lawn mower includes a frame adapted to be releasably mounted to a lawn mower, the frame in turn being adapted to releasably receive a leaf pusher. The frame may be comprised of a welded frame having a pair of spaced apart vertical guide channels, and the leaf pusher may be comprised of a frame covered with iron mesh, and having a pair of vertical guide rods adapted to be received in the guide channels. The side edges of the pusher are curved forwardly in order to enable the attachment to catch and hold a large quantity of leaves.
