G'day Norm,
I can't be bothered with the idiots anymore.
Yep that's why I just scrapped a lot of thumb latch Victa mowers even if I payed $30.each for them .If I advertised them at $30.
for a good working mower you just ended up getting lots of messages for $15.
I've thrown out lots of trailer loads of 4 stroke motors but here you would be lucky to get $10. a trailer load.
Still got a lot of good 4 stroke motors that have been in storage for at least 10 years and they looked like
they hadn't done much work when I got them, they were good running motors but mostly Quantum motors
as I had so many 375 sprint motors I would just keep the quantums and sell mowers with sprint motors.
They may just end up in scrap as the last lot of old mowers I scrapped I just threw in about 10 newish motors
with virtually no carbon on the pistons.
I also had lots of Flymo catchers and had lots of those mowers but mostly the alloy bases would be cracked in the corners
so I just scrapped them. I've built up quite a few mowers with brand new bases just because mower shops would part out a new mowers
selling the parts for more than the price of the new mower and also they would have a new mower with a twisted base and the
manufacturer would give them a new replacement alloy base so I was given a fair few new alloy bases from shops and the twisted bases
were easily straightened.What I mean by a twisted base is when the mower is on flat ground but one wheel is off the ground
by about 13mm.
Cheers
Max.
