ditchman Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 decieded to have a change this year....so im selling my old cylinder mower and going for a rotary...so i can grow the grass longer....it will need less watering and stay greener during the year... eventually dropped on to this Hayter 10/30 for £380 squids including grass collector...hadnt been used for 5 years...and before that it had very little use...the exhaust still has silver paint on it...... the machine is 20 years old and has never been cleaned....serviced every year...and still the same blade ...which you can see in one of the pics....it is totally stuffed ...i have never seen one as bad as that...and it makes the deck vibrate....so the first thing i did was to remove all the covers and clean it.....the oil is i think the wrong visco' and the fuel is contaminated ...so the tank will be coming off and cleaned with new filter etc... i will start this project again , after i have cleared up all the damage from the 2 storms ...

Old Boggy Posted February 19, 2020 Report Share Posted February 19, 2020 Welcome back Ditchy. Old Farrier has been keeping us amused whilst you`ve been on your `hols`. Cannot repeat some of the comments made while you`ve been away. I`d end up in the slammer for good, not just 14 days. OB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
