The Mower Bench

Haha, I do get my share of rough ones, its just that I seldom feel the photo opportunity of a load of junk!

This weeks intake of ride ons is a pretty mixed batch and no matter how I look at them I just cant see a photo!

Last weeks bunch mostly cleaned up OK though, but that little Hayter did not make it into the 'after' photo.

Ok, so here are some photos of some of this weeks 'in piles', all washed and waiting to be serviced.

If Disney ever do 'Mower Story' this is where the inspiration will come from. Have you heard them talk at night? 👍

This 16 year old Stiga looked fantastic after its service. Polish helped but the new deck was really the star!

Here's to the next 16 years.

You just can't beat Stiga quality.

We had the head back from being repaired yesterday for the Stiga in our workshop. Had to go and buy a smaller torque wrench as the studs needed 5nm!

Interesting primer arrangement on that one.

Just finished servicing and regrinding 16 cutting units for a golf club customer. Around 3 hours per unit.

That would drive me crazy, too repetitive.

What sort of charge per unit?

That's the second batch we've had in and done 29 total for the same customer.

 

It is repetitive but it's chargeable labour We will strip them in sets so for example the larger set (Jacobsen fairway) is a set of 5 so we will strip them, get into the grinders, then rebuild one at a time as they finish in the grinder.

 

Between me and the old man we have a pretty good system going.
