I have to admit to not being a fan of the Hatz powered diesel models. The one in the photo actually has a Honda engine, but I much prefer the Briggs Vanguard.

Yeah same as that.

 

Here's the head after I started to clean it out. The whole head was solid.

Rather you than me! I hate the smell of diesel.

 

I trained as an ag mechanic and worked on diesels for 20 years. I was always covered in diesel and breathed in diesel fumes from engines running in the workshop. My clothes stank of diesel, my hands, my hair etc.

I never thought anything of it. I then went into the office for 10 years, before being back on the tools in my own mower business.

But now the smell of diesel engines makes me feel physically sick, so I keep to the petrols if possible.

To be honest I dont even like the smell of petrol now since using mostly Aspen.

Our van driver, Rob, had a busy day collecting this lot for service from across east devon.

My task now is to wash it, service it and polish it for return next wednesday.

As well as 20 or so 2 stroke machines. May be working Sunday again:001_rolleyes:

A guy once phoned me up for instructions on how to fit the belts on a deck like this. I am quite good at describing things, but .........!

There are 13 pulleys on this JD deck, Its a lovely bit of engineering and weighs a ton.
