Hi again
Krusty,If you take the whole machine in in will cost you more for the job...this will be a task that you will have to do as needed mate...so just follow my instructions in the video...you can do this yourself...and save considerable $$$, and have the satisfaction of doing it yourself...I will step you through it, if you so desire...
Plus you will learn a new skill that is normally the purview of greenskeepers!
Re: your front roller, they are the alloy type used on the early ones; they are riveted on; just drill out the rivet with a suitably sized twist drill and out they pop... and yes you can bush them in brass...but they will need oiling...drill a small hole through the end-cap and bush, on an angle and use a general purpose oil...they will last a lot longer, and do the shaft a favour at the same time.
Hoping this will be of help,
