Here is a seed catch for the Squirrel Buster Legacy bird feeder!
Birds are super messy, and will happily toss a bunch of food on the ground from a feeder. Not only does this go through seed faster, but it feeds ground animals that you might not want to feed. This model catches falling seed into a removable hopper, which can be added back into the feeder silo when the seed is refilled.
This model replaces the seed tray on the original Squirrel Buster Legacy as an exact fit. To replace the original tray with this model, first lift the housing and put it aside to reveal the seed silo and feeder tray. Then, hold the silo and unscrew the seed tray. Separate the spring tensioner and spring from the seed tray. Then, grab the flat top of the hanging rod with pliers, and remove the lock nut under the tray with an 8 mm socket. Remove the rod from the tray and the two washers between the rod, the tray, and the lock nut.
This model serves as a direct replacement for the seed tray, and assembly is the same as the original tray. Put a washer on the rod, insert the rod through the seed catch, add the other washer underneath, and attach the lock nut to the bottom of the rod with an 8 mm socket (you might need an extension). Then, put the spring back on the rod, put the tensioner back in the silo, and screw the seed tray back into the silo. The spring tensioner does not need to be adjusted, since the preload strength is to compensate for the weight of the metal housing only, which is unchanged.
Enjoy!
