Sorry. I missed an important word and a comma.
Before you do check to make sure the pulleys are not worn. If you ask how to do that, its my opinion that you should not be fixing your own mower.
You questioned the pulley.
I was suggesting that if you could not look at a pulley and confidently make a call on its useability that you should not be repairing your own mower.
Yes i jump to assumptions.
I make no appologies and take no offence.
The thingy is broken on my do-hickey, help me.
Its the internet, its not you and your machine in my shed and us going over it.
Ive had a guy here flip a running mower over to check the blades, lucky he did it in front of me so i could stop him. I assume the worst.
And then theres people that think they are over competent. IE: tennants improvements. Hang around for a bit and this will explain itself.
It wasnt my intention to insult your intelligence.
