Hayter mowers to look at. THey are both relatively new but both have the same problem. They both stop driving forward after a short while.

 

 

Modern Harriers have three very common problems with the drive, other than normal cable adjustment.

 

Firstly, there are two drive belts between the crank pulley and the gearbox (via a variator) They wear badly and very soon start to slip causing the gearbox to lose drive.

 

Secondly, on 41 models, the belts can become loose when the roller support bracket brakes allowing the gearbox to move forward. The roller will look out of line and the height adjuster seem broken too.

 

The third fault is that the internal clutch in the gearbox wears out, especially if the clutch lever is 'slipped' a lot, or if the clutch cable has not been adjusted when needed. A new gearbox is the only cure

 

This sounds more like your issue as the clutch gets weaker as the box warms up.

 

If the pulley on the gearbox can be seen to be rotating, but the roller is not moving then the gearbox is most likely worn out and in need of replacement.

(just check the chain drive first though in case the sprocket roll pins have sheared)

Cheers. Was going to look at the chain drive first as the mower are relatively new and barely used. I say new. About 3 years old. but barely used. I was thinking the pins had gone. But only happens after gets warmed up. Will have to wait and see. Relatively easy to fix whatever it is.

Can anyone help me track down a impulse line for a 200t, Ive checked the bay and LS engineers with no luck.

 

Can i use vacuum hose like on a car? if so what ID do i need? The old hose had a hole in it so just chucked it away or i would measure it.

 

Thanks

What's on my bench today is ...... A BENCH!

I've managed to shoehorn one into my garage so I don't have to work on top of the chipper anymore.

Now I'll be shopping for a bench grinder.
