Big John aren't you aware that PA grass has a magnetic quality. This is more prevelent during polar vortex's. All kidding aside as Roland said that screen is to keep clippings out of the engine cooling areas it also detracts critters from entering and making themselves a home chewing everything in sight. If it were me I would remove the tins from around the jug and head area and thoroughly clean things up and then get a screen and put it in place. You would be best served to keep that screen clean to get the best air flow around the engine.
