After years of experience using and repairing Deutscher R280/360 ride-ons I have put together some notes that deal with preventive maintenance, identifying danger signs and some hints on repairs. I will send these out free to your email address. I am also happy to take any phone calls after you get these notes. An increasing number of spare parts are no longer available from Deutscher but most parts are available from other sources. Email me tscanlon@webone.com.au or phone 02 4683 1140
