G'day Everybody,

How many of you in Sydney, have had dealings with this mob? -> https://sydneyrollermower.wixsite.com/home The website is being updated at the time of this post.

They specialise in all brands of Refurbished & Vintage [including] SB Cylinder mowers, B & S Spin Cuts, Atom Edgers and the like... [See Images below]

Getting your existing SB Cylinder and matching Bottom blade [regardless of the size & # of scroll blades], machined to a perfect match buy their lathe along with other brands, [such as Rover, Alroh, Atco e.g.] is just one of their many offers.

I would be very interested in your comments, should you have done any business with them in the past, regarding their service; price and efficiency, especially regarding pick-up & delivery~if that was involved.

And you even get a "Lets Chat" option...

Cheers and regards,

mice_elf

I haven't dealt with them personally but they have a bad reputation in the facebook groups for doing poor quality work. I wouldn't trust them with my equipment based off horror stories I've heard from facebook and another mower shop that people bring their stuff in to get repaired again after been ripped off by SRMC.

Thanks for your response QSR. I would have replied earlier than this, except I have not been well, but now I'm OK.

I too have heard about the Facebook comments, and I do tend to agree with you regarding rip-offs. All of what I'm saying below on this topic--is "old hat"

My present SB Model 45 17" was purchased from them roughly 12 years ago. and at the time I got them to replace the original cylinder for a brand new 7 bladed one [Black in colour], which was then lathed as was the new bottom blade, and then adjusted to give a perfect match. It came with a Vintage 1977 B&S -- 3 HP, Model 80303 08339-01 77061001 engine on it. [See attached pic and you will be able to see the original B&S red paint, under the Black paint over-spray.] From memory, about AU$1,700 all up and delivery was free.

Suddenly, about 18 months later, the engine siezed for no apparent reason. It had the correct amount of oil, a brand new spark plug, and I looked after it well. I'm still in the process of slowly dismantling it [as time permits], to try and discover what went wrong. Also, finding the Manuals -- Operators & Exploding Parts, has proven to be next to impossible! When completed, my findings will be the subject of another post.

So, in essence, I ended up with a AU$1,700 mower without an engine. However, I can say that the back split-rollers, twin rails, clutch assembly, chains & sprockets, front roller, cylinder, nuts & bolts and catcher etc., are all still in first class condition, with no signs of rust, or dents, including beneath the side cover.

That's my experience of dealing with them...
