Recommended Posts

I have just bought a lawnflite hydro mower this thing is a beast heavy but its so tough you coul run it over with a digger and break the digger. Anyway i was exited about fixing it untill i found the price of a new gearbox. I guess its a seald unit The input shaft turns but the output does not cables all lool tight. Has any one know of an economical way to fix or should I weigh it in?

You may be able to get the hydro pump mended by a specialist but it will be an expensive job:(

What mower is it from a ride on or a walk behind?

And how much is the new pump?

I've got a huge toro ride on (7ftcut) and that's my biggest worry(having the main pump go) as they are a grand!!!

Its a walk behind 4 wheels gxv160 engine all works well. I am on the look out for a decent wheeled mower this one came up cheap to good to be true. I thought gearboxes where deer like £300 as with the roller mower. But i never imagend they could charge over 60% of cost of new mower for a smallish part ( £750 ). I have got two new honda mowers but one is like a bomerang allways going back to dealer ( under warranry ) so iam not so keen to buy new. Parts are so expensive I guess you have to buy new.
