Cheers for the video. Have a few small holes in my deck that need fixing and was thinking of going down the fibreglass route to repair

Could have been a venting issues as well with the cap or overfilled tank. Same happened to me and I took out some fuel and it runs great now.

Thanks for that I have five hayter harrier56 always changing belts and clutch cables I pull the mower backwards and it doesn't lock up is this a good sign of gear box gone have done a gear box before but always wondered whether it was the box. Its hard to tell when looking in side it without comparing to a new one inside thanks for the info great video

Hi there What is the year of this model ? I have a 2009 x300r and the drive belt cracked once my son pulled the knob that operates the blades. I think deck was nearly clogged and the belt is old .. now I have to buy a new one and replace DIY. however, when grass is wet, it deck gets blocked very quickly I find it a little bit weird for a semi pro tractor that come with a 7.5K USD price tag. What are your feedbacks ? Thanks a lot 😅

I have got a four year-old Qualcast cartridge 14 inch mower and have had nothing but problems with it. my lawnmower repair man said they are poorly made. It’s almost ready to be thrown away what is happening now is everything else is working or fixed… replaced carburettor fixed the spark plug fixed broken belts et cetera et cetera the latest problem is the pink cogs seem to melt due to something sticking in the mechanism and everything gets too hot, doesn’t matter if it’s the scarifier cartridge or the cylinder blades I’ve got no idea?? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
@snazzymowers1409 4 ай бұрын
Sorry, we've never had a cartridge mower, possibly a bearing or something has gone? We tend to try to stay away from the cylinder mowers as they're often frustrating to work on and hard to sell on

@@snazzymowers1409 my lawnmower man has recommended the new cobra fortis, I’ve I’ve gone electric and the cartridge system is much more robust. The whole mower seems to be fantastic well-made and less expensive than Allet Atco etc. As Cobra success starts to sink in hopefully it will cause an improvement in the manufacture quality.

Spend 3 days working on the old mower and also spend £75 on materials...or....buy a newer mower for £140. Tough call. Lol
@snazzymowers1409 5 ай бұрын
You're looking at £30 worth of materials, and £250 for a new self-propelled mower, and only a few hours of time, so the maths looks a little more positive now. Also saving another mower from landfill, and many people enjoy fixing things.

Once the moisture gets under the fibre glass it will come away from the decking, have tried all these methods over the years and the only answer is polycarbonate plastic decks, no rot no rust 👍😎

We've had pretty good success with this, not had one fall out yet, but yes, nothing will last forever. Plastic decks crack though, alloy ones also crack, there's no wonder material unfortunately.

@snazzymowers1409 Жыл бұрын
It could be that the handle that sits in each hole for the height adjustment is bent - and it could possibly be stiff just because of lack of use, and the pivot rusting. Is it stiff in both directions, if it's only stiff going up the spring could have broken
