QUALCAST 35S LAWNMOWER NOW FINISHED

[@mradriankool]

Picked up a cheap one myself, slowly getting it all running sweet again. Not a clue what I’m doing but watching your vids is a huge help. Just had the pull cord go, so that’s tomorrows job. Still not 100% sure if the carb needs to be adjusted not quite starting as I’d like. But I’ll get there

[@themowerman]

The carbs are tricky on these.. it may need cleaning 3 or 4 times.. rim the gets out

[@mradriankool]

@@themowerman honestly I just replaced it, just unsure if it needs setting up 🤷‍♂️ l live in rural France so it’s a case of working stuff out especially on cylinders as most ( nearly all ) rotary or sit on. But I’m loving getting out of my comfort zone and very satisfying getting stuff ( 2 chainsaws, a hedger & 2 strimmers ) back from non functional via KZbin

Nice one Mick . For the two hidden bolts the swines. Cheers Pete.

[@themowerman]

Lol it took me a while to find them but get it sorted in the end.thanks for your help

[@petefroud5308]

Will turn a good price Mick at least 150 people do like them a lot.

[@menditman2004]

Hi good fix, I don't tend to fix these as I find I can usually break them for Spares and make a decent amount back. But saying that I did buy one cheap last year and couldn't bring myself to break it, it sold ok. Good video👍

[@SCOTTISHPREPPERVARIETYCHANNEL]

from junk metal to lean green mowing machine nice one

[@Flumpsarus]

Hi Mick, just found your channel and subscribed. Good video! Not many home videos for these mowers actually being worked on etc! I love these mowers, have about 9 of them in the garage to work on currently! Always found the carbs to be most problematic on these machines myself. Look forward to what you've got coming up next! Cheers, Jay.

[@themowerman]

Hay Jay welcome aboard this wacky ship lol

[@themowerman]

Flumpsarus I found them to be ok but the people is if they are used then you never know how they have been treated

[@Flumpsarus]

Haha the whackier the better 😂 Yes that's true, although I noticed with your carb, the needle slipped into the float, the ones I've come across before have all had wriggly pins to keep them in place and I've had nothing but dramas with them!!

[@danielturner1329]

Hey mick! Great vid and enjoyed the others too, while rebuilding I noticed I had a leftover spring, and for the life of me I can’t find where it goes! Its a flat spring, not like your usual spring. I know it came out of the ride height side panel, just can’t find where! Any help would be appreciated!

[@themowerman]

Hi.. send me an email with a photo of the spring [e-mail]

[@danielturner1329]

I actually found where it went eventually… although its a spring.. it’s not really acting as one, it’s the locking pin spring beneath the cylinder on the ride height side. Took a bit of time with this face > 🤔 appreciate the reply though!

Hi Mick, Great Vidio. I am doing up a 35s qualcastgo a problin with the rear roller, just like you i bought a new pinion gear but when fitted the roller still gets stuck , the iner cog looks ok as its ally, would you hav any thoughts on what to do next ? Regards Mick M

[@themowerman]

Have a look at the belt adjustment.. take the belts off and see if it makes any difference..

[@craigpeters5543]

Have you got a video showing taking off the pulley casing my dad has been looking everywhere

Hi Mick I've just been given the same model by a neighbor he'd not started it up this year due to illness and had bought a smaller electric one. Anyway I put in some fresh petrol and it started 1st time. So I'm well pleased. Keep up the informative videos, I've got a Hayter 41 that's due a belt change I believe you did one of those didn't you?

[@themowerman]

I do have some videos on the hayter that may help..

[@pedrobg1289]

Hi mick love your channel. I have the same mower but 17S model and when I pull the the drive cable it makes a loud grinding noise before it gets going also the cylinder often locks up when the engine is off and try to push or pull the mower . my question is does it need the cable adjusting or perhaps belt adjusting or replacement. Any advice or opinions from anyone who knows on how to solve the problem would be really appreciated as I cannot afford to buy or service it.

[@themowerman]

Soumds like the cylinder is hitting the bed knife.. or the clutch is not locating fully.. take the top cover of and check it

[@pedrobg1289]

@@themowerman Hi Mic thanks for your reply. It is the rear roller that makes the noise and locks up when the engine if off so I have to drag it into the garage.

[@themowerman]

@@pedrobg1289 hi I believe I have a mower with the same problem. I will be looking into it soon. So hopefully a video will be out within 6 weeks. As I have videos lined up and uploaded already

[@philjones7695]

Great videos! I've just picked up a 35s for free and it started after a bit of clean of the carb & some fresh fuel. Anyone know where I can get the air filter housing - can see filters for sale everywhere but not the actual housing. Cheers.

[@themowerman]

Here is an air filter box and carb.. you may have to get it as a complete item as they are a bit hard to get hold of

[@philjones7695]

Micks Mowers thanks Mick. Isn’t there also a plastic push fit type of filter housing for the 35s? - Saw one on an Espares video...

[@saxilbyjoe4325]

Hi - do you think the lower position for the grass box bar is if you use the scarifier cassette? Am really enjoying these videos - I have one of these from about 1970 which hasn't run for over 15 years to look at this year (or next ....).

[@themowerman]

Yeah it could be. That's very kind of you to say your enjoying them. I also have another cylinder one in so will be getting that running soon. Mick

[@craigburns8286]

Hi Mick, picked a slightly different model qualcast classic 35s up and I’m stumped on how to read the oil level. The fill and drain are both on the rear side (nearest your legs) and there’s no dipstick as far as I can see. Any ideas on how to gauge the fill mark? Thanks

[@themowerman]

Yeah mate. You fill it all the way up until it hits the bottom of the threads..

[@jeffjeffjeff2]

Micks Mowers Absolute legend. Thanks. I think the one I have is badged as a Qualcast but actually a Suffolk Punch 14 underneath. Thanks again Mick, appreciate it.
