Hello everyone
I'm a frustrated English guy who brought a great bargain !! (Scott Bonnar cylinder mower)
And the story goes like this " purchased this mower from a police officer who advertised it through Gumtree, great, went and had a look all looked fantastic old mower but in good working order, had to get the cylinder sharpened as it pulled at the grass, sharpened it even better cut the grass really well. Then being a family man i neglected the lawns for a couple of weeks and it was a couple of inches long by now and this put additional load on my poor old electric motor and now I've burnt something out inside."
The motor will start but hums only whilst it tries to turn.
So i took it to Statewide motors in adelaide for a service! sorry sir this needs to have a rewind..... $ 350 + GST after i picked myself up of the floor, the kind gentleman said we have a new similar one for $295 Inc but it has a capacitor housing and is not the same physical size so the cover will not go back on.
So you see my dilemma....
If anyone can advise me the best place to purchase a refurbished motor i would be grateful.
The Mower as mentioned is a Scott Bonnar. Mower Number 45 21418
The motor is a Crompton Parkinson 1/2 HP 3.3 Amp single phase motor
Many thanks
Tony
