Brilliant timing - just about to pick one of these up (with no drive and a loose belt cover) for chewing the rough patches of grass I wouldn't dare put my hrx onto - thanks for sharing, much appreciated 😀

[@themowerman]

You are welcome mate... Hope it is just the belt

[@alandykes2519]

Great fix Mick make someone a nice mower 👍👍👍👍

[@brendanukveteran2360]

I thought the factory fitted the belt guard ussing an engine bolt with the head on nthe base of the engine and the nut against the belt cover...mine was...just finished taking ouyt all the rust under the deck and prepping with Dinitrol and Hammertite...lovely job which gives the deck another 4-5 years....if I can get the bloody motor working properly! Useful vids, good work!!

[@sadielangston8478]

Hey mick ! Thanks for the vid! New to fixing mowers but trying to troubleshoot fixing my moms for her ! It made the same noise but when I went to look underneath it didn’t even have that plastic part! Any idea what might be causing that? Thanks again!

[@themowerman]

@@sadielangston8478 first question is yours a power drive mower... If so you can get the belt cover on line mate ...

[@Big_Johns]

Good job Mick, be careful putting those big guns on such tiny bolts, you see what happened. 🤣👍

[@themowerman]

Lol..

[@tinkeringtaylor3053]

Great job Mick handy when you have the spare parts saves a few ££

[@themowerman]

Hi Nev mate.. the mower store is always full of bits and bobs.

[@barryewalt5368]

Another good video Mick, you made it look easy, i do a little bit of the small engine stuff myself, but I'm going to see how that goes in the future,keep up the good work!!!

[@themowerman]

Thanks mate and good luck

[@topconker2909]

Great vid mate

[@TheLawnmowerLady]

Good to have spares around, I often can't find where I tucked them away 😂 Is that a Chonda engine on those Moutnfields?

[@themowerman]

Yeah it's a chonda to be fair for the homeowner it's not a bad engine

[@chrisevansgardenservicesjo8093]

I got the sp 185 300 series it’s a awsum mower had it 2 years now and not one single issue with it

[@themowerman]

Yeah I have 4 of them I think

[@terrywitt5543]

Hey Mick great channel who uses those Atco real mowers here in the us I’ve only seen them mowing golf course greens and I seen those push types when I was a kid

[@themowerman]

Yeah mate we love them over here..

[@jaggass]

I've got one for sale on ebay in perfect working condition.

[@mickheathcote4570]

Hi Mick, i have a mountfield similar to this one but the lower handle has snapped and the bolts that attach it to the body just keep spinning, i tried drilling new holes and tapping them but that did'nt work. Any ideas on how to fix it. A shame to scrap it because of a couple of stubborn bolts. Thanks.

[@themowerman]

Hi mate I do have a video somewhere on how to replace the back baffle.. I will try and find it .. the repair can be done for around £30.. if not you can just get a grinder and cut the heads off.. remove the baffle and fit some new bolts..

[@mickheathcote4570]

@@themowerman Thanks Mick, I'll try to find the vid, I'm sure I can do it myself if I can find how to get in to it. Once again thank you.

[@mickheathcote4570]

@@themowerman Also I have been using this as a practice machine since I found your channel and managed to clean engine out and get it running again.

[@themowerman]

@@mickheathcote4570 that is fantastic news

[@adrianmassey6673]

Nice one. what do you reckon to sell it for? I’ve got a very similar one I want to sell. Unfortunately mine cost me a new drive cable and height adjustment lever, but was very cheap to buy. Cheers

[@themowerman]

£150 ish o would say

[@nw8000]

I have a Mountfield something and its supposed to drive its self or self propel can this be fixed?

[@themowerman]

Yes.. take the blade off and the blade cover.. the belt may of come off..

What about him ?

[@chrisevansgardenservicesjo8093]

£250 I payed for mine brand new so I say it wasn’t cheap

[@themowerman]

Yeah not cheap.. but if looked after it should do 10 years..

[@b286guy]

Mower tipped on wrong side. Carb should be up and not down 🤭

[@themowerman]

Well to me it doesn't matter as I have to take all the oil out to service it anyway.. for members of the public I would say carb side up but for a mower shop you know what your doing.. ask the question did the mower start at the end of the video?

[@johnoxley2613]

Hi mick got a Fully serviced fully working self-propelled calcars petrol lawnmower for sale if you’re interested

[@themowerman]

Hi mate I have emailed you

[@chrisevansgardenservicesjo8093]
