These are meant to break. Mountfield is indeed crap though 😂

I just fitted one the the sp53h......broke on first pull but the one that came with the mower lasted ages

Best way is to use shears. For edging and around tress.

Those dogs look as fed up as you sound 😂

They are meant to shear off if you hit somthing hard or you will bend your engine shaft and ruin your engine or cause a lot of damage

Copper works the older the copper gets its syronger when its white and green its shocks the slugs. But that looks more like caterpiler dammage slugs wont go that high they tend to go maybe 4 foot if they eating greens they woukdn eat bitter leaves and most fruit tree leaves are bitter.

I think you have to put a little bit of metal on the shaft called a woodruff key or moon key , if you miss this out I think it breaks the adapter easily 😀👍🇫🇷

Awww that’s kind to rehome the pigeons. Good job

By the look of the undertray if you wash the mower after use might help with the mower working better

When I was a prison officer in charge of gardens we had 4 mountfields and I can assure you they had some rough treatment from the inmates.We never had any problems other than normal servicing.He's either had bad luck or a problem with the company.

Never had any problems with my mountfield mowers and ive had 3 in my 77 years . I swear by them.

I can't tighten the screw close to wall. Anyone got a solution

👍👍

Awww poor thing! My staffie has recently started doing this, hasn’t been stung though, idiopathic head tremors is what the vet said it was, nothing that can be prescribed just comfort them and try and distract them!

Found the ball bearing on the side of the bath…popped it back it to the rear of the PRD and its now working perfectly! 😁👍

Had a Mountfield once and all the plastic parts broke, the carb was amazing, must have been about 30 springs, didn't know what they did. I bent the crankshaft and replaced it, surprisingly cheap and easy, camshaft was made of plastic I remember. Now have a Honda which has been great but the deck is nearly rusted through, seems a common problem.

Great job. Thought you might like these islands I made using recycled plastic pallets. We had the opposite problem. The ducks were eating our water plants ;-) kzbin.info/www/bejne/sH7EmKN7qqitgq8

I've had a Mountfield EP414 for four years. It cost me 150 euro new and has turned a field of wild grass into a garden. It's had an absolute battering, just two services and is only now in need of new lower handles. It's been absolutely amazing.

Nice wood store

I know the turtles and snakes would probably love it but do the duck use it

Looks pretty😍 Although we have easier solution kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYGpgHZ-ZdmZjdU😉

Thanks for showing this. So many trees in parks and gardens wrecked by trigger happy strimming.

What size Jerry cans do you use? 5litre?.. Or 10litre?.. I plan to make 2 of these. Thanks for the informative video! 😊

Had an Sp53h for 7 years and used it commercially for the last 3 of those. The boss is there to protect the crank…..the next thing this guy will be complaining about is a bent crank! Mine has got through one drive cable amd one throttle cable in 7 years which I think is fair given the amount of use it’s had. I’ve had to change the spark plug once and the oil been changed every other year and the machine still keeps marching on with the first pull(sometimes second) of the chord. This guy must be drinking Stella and wearing a vest whilst using this mower to have caused such destruction in two years!!!

Im using a 20yr Rover still going strong... they don't make umm like this anymore.

Poor girl. It really sucks when our loved ones are suffering.

I’m running a Mountfield manufactured in 1996 and it’s still going strong in 2021. Minimal maintenance required and starts first time every time and cuts a lot of grass every year. I will buy another Mountfield when (if) my 25 year old mower gives up. Can’t help but think this video is looking for faults to show his own DIY skills and not using the warranty?

has it worked ??

Thank you so much, I've been having the issue too and thanks to you I will be able to fix it myself!

Love you dogs, but you are just a moaning t..t, these are great mowers. 🇬🇧

Its cast iron or tungsten and its rubbish

Hope you look after that dog,,keep your equipment clean and it looks after you,,🤣🤣🤣

I thought them two pins on the blade boss were there as a fail safe, meant to shear if the blade hits a rock or something

The old B&S engine empress ones gave the best cut, still had mine up until last year when the deck gave out

I have just put a Honda engine on a vintage mount field thick solid aluminium chassis because most modern lawnmowers are rubbish

bought from screwfix or a diy store?

Buy a mountfield great mowers. 👍

Do these require a key way to put it on the shaft?

surly its a lot easier to leave the pallets whole stronger too. To build your log store

have had an S481 pd es for 3 years now cost in the region £400-£500 and absolute disaster from day one. was sent back within days of receiving it cables incorrectly fitted. supposed to be key start but doesn't, fed up charging the battery and then only getting a couple of key starts out of it. forgotten now how many times i have had to have it repaired. VERDICT last Mountfield I will ever buy, AND WOULD NOT RECOMEND THEM.

It looks as though the holes for posts have been dug deep enough.

Are the dogs related?

Get a honda izy

That mower is designed for domestic use not commercial use! Your clearly not looking after that machine by the looks of it.the blade boss is designed so if you hit something hard e.g concrete etc then the prongs on the blade boss are designed to snap off so no damage is caused to the engine.also have you put the woodruff key back in place ? If the woodruff key is not present them your going to end up with the boss slipping and the prongs snapping off.The mower is designed to cut grass not concrete! By putting that bit of metal over the blade and boss then your going to end up with a knackered engine.make sure when you put the blade boss and the woodruff key in the correct place, you torque it up to the correct manufactures specifications

Based on how filthy it is I'd say these issues are all down to abuse and poor maintenance. Mountfield are well established and use ultra reliable Honda engines.

Hi sorry to add more fuel to the fire but that's no a Briggs engine that's a Chinese RV150 or SV150

As a commercial gardener I'm using the Mountfield sp555v Brilliant mower with the Honda 170 motor

Wish my wife bent over for me in the morning

Does it not vibrate a lot with this adaption on?

Have a HP185 just for home use and must say for the £230 or so I paid its brilliant compared to other rubbish I have used, probably doesn’t get the wear and tear your model does mind, apart from poor assembly instructions I’m happy.
