Norm, The cranks usually snap just above the boss. Trev might have found something different. I have only ever found snapped cranks on the Masports and not Rover or Victa�s.
I have a 625 Briggs at home with a crack in the shaft just above the boss. I�ll try to remember to take a photo of it tonight. Again this one came off a Masport.
Gadge, Thanks for the confirmation on the recall. The couple I have are 2010 models. So essentially the damage is because of people hitting let�s call them un-identified objects.
Does anybody have any experiences with the blade stiffeners? If I come across a Masport that falls under the recall I�ll be making sure they have the stiffeners fitted.
