Hey guys,
I just finsished getting one of these ready for a bloke at work who wanted a newer mower.
It was working when I picked it up but not real well.
I actually ended up replacing the bearings as there was too much movement in the crank for my liking. It ended up having a bung bottom bearing however the top was ok. I replaced both to be safe.
Piston and rings were near perfect so I didnt touch them bar giving them a good clean.
I was thinking the bung bottom bearing may have something to do with the longer crankshaft and the longer boss?
The wheels on my one were sh*t so I replaced them with good quality ball bearing wheels off a parts mower. I'll whack some photo's up tonight to show you.
Not sure why but I have been finding a lot of grumbling and loose bearings in power torques lately. Mainly the newer ones. The older ones seem ok.
