OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Repairs and Maintenance Questions on Walk Behind Lawn Mower Frames Question On Scott Bonnar Cylinder Mowers Scott Bonnar Model 45 Reel Bearing Housing

Hi I'm new to this forum so I hope I have put this question in the right place.
I have recently acquired a SB 45 and on trying to set the blade height I saw that the left hand aluminum bearing holder was cracked and had sheared where the adjuster screw is, I have looked on the internet to try to get a new one or used without success. Does anyone know where I can source one from?

If you allow another week we should have supply of the part on the online store as the container is arriving in a few days time.

Hi Bruce thanks for the quick reply. I will be waiting for your parts update. This is a great site for Scott Bonner information, I want to upgrade a few different parts so will be watching with interest.

Hi bazzo,

I'll have to ask the question, what size in inches is your machine, 14, 17 or 20 as that's critical.

Cheers,

Hi Bonnar_Bloke,
Its a 17 inch cutter I'm sorry, forgot to say.
I'm in Willunga, Adelaide could pick up if that's possible don't know where spare parts are stored.

Regards Bazzo.

Hi bazzo,

Being that it's a 17 inch machine you'll have no issues finding a bearing carrier. They are the same as the 14 inch machines and also the later 20 inch machines. The earlier 20 inch 45's have a hard to find larger carrier as they used a larger bearing.

Give Steve Rose at Australian Saws and Blades a call on (08)8349 7677, he's in Pooraka and I'm sure he'll have a few on hand.

Cheers,

Hi Bonnar Bloke,
You are a real Jewel in SA. I took your advice and contacted Steve Rose at Pooraka and he had the part I wanted even though he took it off another S B machine in his workshop. He is an absolute font of knowledge regarding cylinder mowers and has a lot of second hand spare parts and screws for S B machines. He knows you but not by your internet name, and he passes on his regards,.Thank you once again for your help and also for this forum for the fountain of knowledge it contains.
Regards Bazzo

Hi Bazzo,

Firstly, Thank you for your kind words, it's my absolute pleasure to help you out, I'm almost blushing now !

I try my best to help out fellow members as much as I can. Steve is a top bloke and as such why I always recommend him here when most other retail avenues fail. He does all my machining and I've never had an issue with his workmanship. He does work for bowling clubs all over Australia and as such he wouldn't be getting that work if he wasn't seen as a master craftsman.

Once again I'm really glad it worked out for you and got you out of trouble.

Cheers,
BB.
