  8. Mine are on order....Should be here Monday.............There may or may not be a tree on them........ I have to use my car for my work as I don't have a van yet. I put business use on the insyoooooorance....And not a meerkat in sight:lol:
  9. One thing I can say Ben, Axminster are GREAT to deal with. Very 'customer first' orientated. Go the extra mile n all that. Fantastic stuff you're doing there mate. cheers, TT
  10. The other two were NOT B n Q (Hey, that rhymes) As others have said, even the expensive ones fall foul sometimes. I am a believer in 'You get what you pay for, but as I said to Dean, it was bought for my own garden, not for work originally. cheers mate. TT:001_smile:
  11. Thanks guys, you all confirmed what I really know to be right. Dean, it is a B n Q mower that I bought last season with no thought of using for business. The boss is fitted to the shaft using a woodruff key, & it also has pegs for the blade to mount onto, so I'm not surprised it broke where it did TBH. Something had to give & the weakest point was the monkey metal in the said part. I fixed it, cost me £25 quid.....No thanks to B n Q, 'We don't stock those parts I'm afraid'.........No doubt waiting for me to offer to buy a new mower.....Yeah, right!!!! Don't get me wrong though, it's a great little thing & does a nice job. 2 days later I hit a tiny lip on a path at my Mother-in-Laws house with the mower I got as a stop-gap from a mate & broke the flywheel in two:blushing: Didn't dare even go to the toilet that day in case I broke anything else off Brand new mower Saturday morning. Wish me luck:thumbup1: cheers, TT
  12. Well, a month or so into my new business & I'm on my third mower. Went to a client last week & was asked to cut grass, add weed control fabric to a bed & weed out the rest. He'd been a dog owner & said the dogs had been gone about a month. The dogs toys were still on the grass when I went to do the job, I moved all I could see, but missed a rope pull (the ones with the knots in that you wrestle the dog for). BANG!! It's been hit by the blade & breaks the blade mounting boss....Question is, my fault for not looking well enough ? Or his for being too lazy to clear up after his dogs......Long after they're gone? Txt (Because he works nights & may be sleeping) yesterday to gain payment for work.........No reply as yet. I haven't asked for repairs to mower. Should I add the cost or stand it myself? What's the position? cheers, TT
  13. SHOWOFF!!!!!! Once again you come up with the goods.....FANTASTIC!! Cheers, TT
  14. Dean, Buy a lottery ticket......Quick! Your luck's in mate. Thankful that you're ok. cheers, TT
