Hi JohnAttwood and bath,
just read all that. What a sad state of affairs when our last ride on mower manufacturer closes down.
I despair at the direction of this country relying on digging it up and selling it. We have proven to be talented at designing machinery when we get the chance and now we simply ship it in.
You treatment at the hands of that shop was terrible.
Some mower shop staff can be cranky buggers to deal with who only have dollar signs in their eyes.
Not a patch on 30 plus years ago.
It just goes to show when there aren't alternatives to turn to.
JA keep at it man. You have the last of a breed. Maybe ring around, even if you have to go as far as Newcastle or even Sydney (shudder) to find someone who can tell you what's likely the culprit and will take pity on you and help with your mower and is much better to deal with.
