😁😁😁😁😁

It's the newer plate and it was loose pinion looks fine and quite a lot of nuts were not tight! Anyway all back together now and working fine! Thanks all for the help
-
They are good but without seeing it up close can't say really. If it runs ok it's worth nearly £60 for the engine alone (unless it's really old) so you can't go too far wrong.
-
I think it's just the light as they look brown up close just like dead grass from weed killing. I'll take a closer look in decent light tomorrow.
-
I don't think so but if so it's tough as there banned the chemicals👎👎
-
No dogs though could be a local cat I suppose
-
I did think that but the rest of the lawn is ok. I wondered if it was footprints from walking in spray but that does not really make sense as its only a small area not right next to edge. I think I'll do as suggested and get all the dead out and seed it. Can't do it myself regularly as its 150 miles from home !
-
Thanks I will look into all these bits and see where I'm at! Thanks for the replies
-
Hi all I'm up at my father in laws and he's asking about these dead patches on his lawn. He has green thumb to spray etc. They look a bit like weed killer to me but just after other opinions! Thanks in advance

I'm not trying to argue that the immigration problem is not real. Just musing really that if you don't build a whole length wall people who are desperate enough will find a way across mountains or not. The us has a much more difficult problem than we do. We have no land borders yet can't control our border.
-
Thanks Barry I will look at it today and see what I can see. I presume this is s problem on the drive side of the mower? A customer gave me the mower a year or so after I started doing their garden as he didn't want to do it ever again as he's 85!
-
Forgetting the problems with immigration from Mexico for a minute. What's the point in building a wall to keep people out if it's not going all the way along the border?
-
Thanks for getting back to me. It's the single roller. Thanks for the tips. Still searching online for a manual😁
-
Hi all I've got a qualcast 35s that I use for scarifying small lawns. Git it up and running again thanks to help on here. However a new problem in that the transmission/something in the roller is clicking and locking the roller up! Does anyone know where I can find a workshop manual before I rip it to pieces! Many thanks Richard

If I were you I'd get a decent 21 inch walk behind first and worry about ride on mowers later! They are harder to find work for as most homes that need one have one and with a small budget you would be lucky to find anything reliable! If you really want big have a look a the Toro turfmaster 30 inch walk behind. Not trying to be negative but unless you have an unlimited budget there are loads of better things to spend your money on at start up. Good luck though

Stump Grinding - South Bucks (lots of it)

But if they buy the machine then they have the initial cost plus maintenance. By hiring you are paying for all of it together.(some of the capital and some of the running costs. The guy should only be making money on the labour! It is cheaper to own the bigger machines but it's still not cheap! -
It's probably because loncin is now owned by kohler according to Henton and chattel
-
It does seem a lot if I'm honest as you can run a brand new truck for the same money!
-
I knew it was something like that!! My lawnflite plainly says kaaz on the deck!
-
That's one way of looking at it it's going to cost either way. Buy cheap and replace or buy expensive to last. I do think the expensive ones are probably cheaper in the long run as they should last 4 or 5 times as long as cheap ones. I'm an owner operator for the most part so mine get looked after. Time will tell this year as I have 2 lads of the grass runs with me this year as I've had a load of contracts come through!!
-
No the lawnflite is the rip off!! Kaaz made these mowers first then Honda lawnflite cobra etc copied them under licence as they are so good! I've got the lawnflite pro 21 roller like you say it's heavy but good
-
I only painted it as I had a bit left from a metal gate I painted for someone left in the tin! I should wash all the decks out more often to be honest. What about the deck on the 21 kaaz roller just wash and let dry? I've got a can of waxoyl somewhere would that be needed or not? I know the Ali decks are not supposed to rust but aluminium does oxidise which is essentially the the same thing isn't it!
-
How much?
-
You are looking after hundreds if not thousands of mowers making a living keeping old ones running as much as selling new ones I suppose. I'm using my stuff day in day out and only seeing how it holds up. I like the izy as it always starts and leave a good enough finish on the small gardens I use it in. I've painted the underside of the older one once with Hammerite after about 3 years. Mind you if I was to pressure wash the underside it could well drop to pieces proving me wrong. I tend to buy a new mower of some sort each year so I don't use them long enough to rust through I suppose. it's going to be a 19 inch kaaz roller this year as I like the 21 but it's a bit big for some places.
-
Fair enough I'm only talking from the ones I've got to be fair and for a domestic machine they last ages giving the abuse I give mine. My original one is going on for 7 years old and is not rusty as far as I know but then I've not looked under it for a long time as its not really used now! My sister bought a champion thing for her tiny garden and it disintegrated in about 5 years! Also how long should we expect a mower to last? If I get 3 years from a 3-4 hundred mower I'm happy
