Hey Guys,
Got a small problem that has been bugging me for a while.
I have recently encountered quite a few Rover Mowers where the three small boss bolts have either already snapped or snap when I am trying to remove them to clean up the blade plate and replace the blades
To date I have been lucky enough to replace the damaged boss�s with spares however my collection of un-damaged boss�s is now low.
So my question is can I re-use these boss�s by repairing them or not?
I was thinking about drilling on the snapped part of the bolt on my bench press drill and then getting three fresh bolts that go all the way through the boss. I would then finish it off by adding a lock washer and nut or locknut for added safety.
I have tried going through previous threads but couldn�t find any suggestions.
As always I am happy to hear any suggestions. Time doesn�t worry me. Its more about fixing the mowers to make sure they are safe and good runners.
