[@robertchapman3671]

Mick you are a life saver, my mother-in-law asked me to cut her grass when I was up in Scotland from London, not just round the corner. I'd never seen or used the mower before and have an electric rotary mower at home so well out of my comfort zone. I managed to get it started and worked out one of the cables had come detached so having fixed that I was well pleased with my self but then I had no drive, that's where you came in. A quick google and half an hour later I had fixed the clutch and I was off and cutting. Top video, I owe you a pint.😊

[@themowerman]

Love a pint of success lol

[@grenrose73]

Mick, you’re a legend! In hindsight i heard the clunk when i engaged the clutch. But with the help of your video, the lawn mower was fixed in about 10mins and now has lovely strips up and down the lawn. Many Thanks.

[@themowerman]

You are welcome me old mucker

[@alansalter2387]

A short while ago I was frustrated and annoyed because the blades weren't turning on my Allet lawnmower. Having watched your video I knew exactly how to tackle the problem. It turned out to be the exact problem explained on the video. Now my lawnmower is working perfectly and I'm so pleased not just because the problem is resolved but I feel I have learned something useful!! Thanks Mick!!

[@themowerman]

Alan.. I'm super pleased for you .. and it saves you some money in the long run.. happy mowing Mate..

[@pvince154]

Thankyou. Roller and cutter stopped suddenly this morning. Saw your video and found the clutch had dropped back. I was all set to take to take it to be fixed on Monday so you’ve saved me the hassle and the cost. Sorted in 10 minutes!

[@themowerman]

Fantastic news.. and ta for the super thanks .. means a lot.. happy mowing

[@monkeyhangerzz]

Thank you - tried to do my first cut of 2024 last week and my 17SK totally stopped driving and this was the exact problem. All I need now is the lawn to dry and I can get the other half cut and you have saved me a fortune. Cheers

[@themowerman]

You are very welcome mate .. glad I could help

[@burtdakarax]

Thanks Mick, just done the dog-clutch on my Suffolk Punch 14sk. So easy, took me about 10mins after watching your video. The dog-clutch had slipped about 3cm up the shaft. The mower just stopped yesterday - no drive, no cutter. Everything just as you described in the video. Much appreciated ( That awful noise gone as well) Thanks again.

[@themowerman]

Fantastic news.. glad my videos helped you out. Happy mowing

[@rclifton4]

Thanks for the great advice on this one. My Allett classic 14 had this exact issue today, I'll give this a look over tomorrow and hopefully its just the dog clutch. My dad gave me the mower as a non runner and I've managed to get it up and running, serviced and carb cleaned out. Great videos

[@themowerman]

No problems.. let me know how you get on

[@spicerldn]

Mick, you legend! This is exactly what I needed to know and my lawnmower is now running perfectly! Thank you 😁👌🏻

[@themowerman]

Brother.... That's why I do the videos.. glad it was a help to you .. happy mowing

[@Pesmog]

Just a quick late comment on this, for anyone who has done the trick shown to get rid of the dog clutch noise and it hasn't entirely fixed the problem. I found with mine that although I moved the clutch outwards on the shaft, as shown so well by Mick, that it still occasionally made the grinding noise. I took it to bits properly and put new rubber in the clutch (about £6) and along with the correct adjustment it cured the problem. The rubber had softened over about 25 years. 👍

[@themowerman]

Yeah good tip mate

[@Flumpsarus]

Great result there matey! Laughing where that clutch coupling had slipped and the snagged cable! Easy fixes...& money! 💪🏻 Keep them coming!

[@schaeferslawngardenandpowe1924]

Becareful adjusting the revs top end. You'll end like Usain Bolt behind it. Great mowers for flat lawns and a great scarifying attachment too. Just a pain to sharpen the blades after a season by me. Its very sandy soil and will blunten blades quickly. Once again, another great video. Thanks.

[@tormead999]

Great video, very helpful. My Suffolk Punch 14SK has exactly the same no output issue so I'm going to give this fix a go tomorrow. Thanks Mick!

Hello Mick Question I have no more adjustment on the blades suffolk punch 14sk, I cannot turn the two screws any more to set blades. So what do I do, should it keep turning or has something worn out. Thanks Vic

[@themowerman]

May be the bottom and or cylinder blade has got to its limit

[@vicmills7702]

The thread is all thick with gunge so after a clean I hope it will screw down more

[@stevoj8959]

Those type of mowers do the best job and it looks like a good purchase. Always nice when you buy something and it turns out to be a simple fix. Is sharpening the blades for that a tough thing? Love the bag trick, going to have to use that one. Good to hear from you. Stevo

Hi Mick love the channel. I'm in Australia and are very Scott Bonnar saturated. Was watching the episode on the Qualcast and spotted the cylinder mower in the back of shot with the X bars that looked to be renovated . 1st what make and model is that? Is it a Ransom or Morrison ?? 2nd are parts still available in the UK? I have recently acquired a Victa Imperial 16" from 1970 and I am wanting to do a Reno on it .

Great video Mick, I've got an older version Suffolk punch. Do you know if there's a minimum diameter for the cutting blade, last time I back lapped and tried to adjust the blade it didn't appear to want to go any lower. Loving the channel, cheers

[@themowerman]

You can tell by how much of the cylinder is left where it's welded to the spindle.. maybe a new back knife would help

[@gseamans]

@@themowerman brilliant cheers Mick I'll check that out. The back knife was fairly gouged and rounded when I bought the mower so I did flatten it off

[@gseamans]

@@themowerman approx how much movement would you expect on the cylinder adjustment screws before they bottom out? I currently have around 1.5mm, I'd guess I filled 2mm off the castellated bottom blade (just the end 5mm) so that make around 3.5mm of cylinder movement (if that makes sense!) I'm trying to justify buying a new bottom blade or just get rid of mower.

Hi Mick, Love your channel! I've done a number of repairs with my son as a result which has been great for us to bond a bit more over a shared hobby. We have just ordered part F016102379, which seems to be correct for our Qualcast 35s with Kawasaki from around 2006, but the shoulder / standoff that it would turn on is too big or the cog is too small by around 0.25 -0.5mm so it does not turn. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you in advance!!

[@themowerman]

Hi mate are they both new parts

[@FiscalWoofer]

@@themowerman Thank you, the shoulder / standoff is original to the mower and seems fine as the cog with a pully wheel attached, which is not damaged, spins fine on either standoff / axel, but the new parts just don't really fit. Very strange,
