Hi, ,a Granny friend down the road bought this mower, and has had nothing but trouble with it. She has paid heaps to mower shops for repairs........... and in desperation, just locked her investment in the garden shed........ I gained trust and having a look. Just dirty fuel tank, carb wires pulled out of cut off and decompressor pipe off......... But I looked further and found a few cracks in the base...... what a mess......It Iooks like a chinese power torque engine, so probably chinese base...... It is supposed to be pressed steel base. That should have a bit of give, but it has cracked in 3 places...... Anyway my kind neighbour mig welded it up , it should be OK. It reminds me of the Titanic. the steel had too much carbon in it and when it hit the iceburg, it cracked instead of just bending....... Carbon makes steel brittle.... I'll just keep my eye out for a power torque base and put it aside for her in the future....... I might put it together early christmas morning as I'm up at 5 am with a back pain and a cat that want to get fed...... anyway it's nice and cool up in Bundy that time. cheers speedy
........................Keep your blades sharp......................
