Much appreciated NK & sparkler. Good to know this route if my attempts at a clean go pear shaped/fail miserably

Guess what everyone, it's Aldi mower time again!

I did a search on Aldi and found a thread here on Aldi lawnmowers before I started a new one...lol

I went to the local Aldi today to get some things and I noticed the lawnmower on the front page of their new catalogue sitting at the front of the shop.

I would post some pictures or a link but this could be considered as advertising, it's probably best for you guys to just check it out in the latest Aldi catalogue. It doesn't go on sale until Saturday 2nd March 2019.

I tell ya what it looks like the formula 1 of lawnmowers..lol

Built to perform, but not to last like almost everything is these days.

I don't know which mower/motor it uses but I do find most of those bigger Chondas are heavy to start, they take a big pull to get them rotating enough to fire, even the lawn beetles take a heafty pull to get them going. If only Honda had thought about it a little and put a primer on them they would have been so much easier to start.

That's another beauty of a good starting powertorque, it often takes only a very light pull to fire one up.
I remember when new, they would fire up at the lightest pull of the cord less than half way up!
I wonder, could a PT with long shaft be made to breath new life to an Aldi 21" model?

Hi, Thats the one my brother bought last year. It leaked oil into the air cleaner from the motor, eventually would not go as the filter got clogged. It was taken back for a full refund no questions asked. Aldi service completely uninterested in any sort of repair. I wonder what happens to mowers like that.

All the best

Jeff, I'm guessing the motor had too much oil in it for it to be pumping it up the breather hose, I guess they just go in the dumpmaster.
MF, I sold one of those 400 Gardenlines to an older bloke last week but it is too heavy for him to pull start, so I am putting a PT together for him at the moment. As for fitting a long shaft PT to a Gardenline, firstly you have to find the long shaft motor, they are probably about 5% of the PT's I get, then you have to drill the base to take the PT and also put a step in the height adjuster to go around the outside of the headBetter off just keeping the wheels and dumping the rest, but then the wheels don't even fit a Victa because the axle diameter is 14.8mm
