SHOCK IN SMALL VILLAGE

Resident turns grass into lawn with a 33 year old Victa Mower!!!!

Yeah well it went ok until there was a god awful noise each time I approached the long grass. Like a grrrrrowling noise.

Shut her down and put it on one side and found the blade holder disc nut had become loose or I had not tightened it enough. The disc was spinning freely on the drive shaft. A large ring spanner and a block of wood later all was well with that.

Next the cutting height had altered drastically - diving into the grass. Easy this one, the height spring from front to back rod had come off. The you beaut chrome cap that was holding the spring on the chassis post had jumped off. Well it must have I didn't do it.

So it got bashed on this time with a hammer instead of just pushing it on firmly.

After that it mowed all of the lawn like a new on. Smooooooth!

And in case you are wondering - yes I am that anal - I washed it when I was finished.

Merry Christmas
