Buy a new one. Paint it black with the exception of a vertical strip to see the oil level. The paint will protect the plastic from the sun light and embrittlement.
Oil Collection System plastic container keeps cracking every few years
I have a 2012 5085M with 3 rear SCV's and the optional oil collection system. It works great, but that little white plastic catch container cracks every few years and it cost around $70 from Deere.

Anyone else have the oil collection system and have run into this issue? Other than forking over $70 every few years, are there other options out there? I suppose I could silicone the crack, but I doubt that would last.
