[@themowerman]

Hi from the UK.. just chilling with a coffee and watching

[@snazzymowers1409]

Thanks for watching and I Hope you enjoyed it!

Fiberglass filler? Won't last long. Need to use metal plates and a welder next time.

[@snazzymowers1409]

The fibreglass is pretty solid but yes ideally it does need welding.

[@julianaddington-barker7063]

Brilliant, I really enjoyed that.

[@mtwseneca]

Your fiberglass deck repair will not last because it will rust underneath and the "glass will fall off. You need to do weld repair with steel patches.

Well 2 years on its still rock solid

great video...I have a issue I hope you can help me with. I have a Honda GX390 on a generator. I replaced the crankcase shaft oil seal as it was leaking. I installed the new seal flush with the engine case. After running for awhile it started leaking again. I thought the seal needed to be counter sunk a bit so I replaced it again. And after running for a short time it has started leaking again. Im not sure where to go from here. Both times replacing the seal I used steelwool to clean the shaft and it seems smooth with no defects. Any advice would be great! Thanks in advance

[@snazzymowers1409]

Hi, if the seal is seated properly and the crankshaft seems smooth, I'd struggle to know what's wrong, make sure the seal is fully seated. It would be hard to diagnose otherwise as you seem to be doing everything right

We’re are you located I have a snapper mower that want start

[@raymondpontremoli4500]

Can you tell me what model that mower is in this video. I purchased a used one that looks just like it but all the serial plates and stickers have been removed. I have no idea what model or series it is. The guy before me changed motors and swapped out the 28" high vac to a 30 inch deck which only makes it harder on me to figure out....Can you help..

[@snazzymowers1409]

Sorry I don't know as we had it in for a service quite a while ago.

[@kareniler5456]

Very helpful

[@snazzymowers1409]

Glad to hear that

[@bradleyharris8637]

What’s the part number on that air filter? I just picked one of these up!

[@snazzymowers1409]

Hi I believe the part number was 272922, double check though it's the same for your mower. Thanks for watching
