I couldn't find a schematic anywhere and my switch was dismantled. This helped me put it back together and get it working. Thanks.

Thank you for posting this video. Couldn’t get my wet/dry vac to suction and took it apart like you suggested and I got it working again. The best part - I didn’t feel mansplained and I fixed it myself!

My shop vac 16 gallon was losing suction and making a funny honking noise, cracked it open and the motor had a lot of cobs dirt and junk plugged up and needed a little oil, put it back together and it works like a champ.

'Promo SM' 😓

where do you get the switch

Thanks for the video I just got mine working

Are you in Wa state?

Both of the lift arms should be on the outside of the mower head stock

Hello again , wherever some butcher starts welding nuts on , it,s hiding trouble , it might be the thread has got stripped off , or out of the nut , or the shaft is now bent ( this is obvious when you spin it round ) , or , worse , the bearing housing is "belled out " , eliminate all of these , & like Sherlock Holmes , what you,re left with is the only remaining possibility , however improbable . My mate across the road had one of these mowers , but no handbook , or I would have scanned the parts diagram & put it on here , ( he & his wife have now moved out ) , so , trawl ebay & find a handbook for a Polden Zweegers (P.Z. ) CM 165 2 - drum mower , a parts diagram is in the back of every book , there are variations , but you get the general idea. 30 years ago everybody had these mowers here in England , but they are now either worn out or just superceded , it might be worth e-mailing a company that sells bits of old gear like this if you can make sense of their website ; Ron Greet , Totnes , Devon , & asking for advice there , there is also a company that have just made a grass topper part for me , to my dimensions , unavaillable from the original factory , J.M.T. Engineering , Ladbroke , Southam , Warwicks , please go easy on these guys , this is an old , but incredibly busy yard ! not much they won,t have seen , but it,s starting to be combining season here ( the big mad ! ) If it,s any help there is here on youtube a video of a round - faced happy looking Dutchman telling the "life story " of P.Z. in Holland , I can,t understand Dutch but I think he,s one of the last Zweegers brothers , it,s worth watching ! There is a breaker,s yard near Holsworthy in Devon , on the edge of a modest wind - farm , I bought a scrap 185H from him & stripped it for many useful bits , find him on google earth , it,s an old poultry farm , on a crossroads . He trades on ebay . Best of luck .

Hiya , I,ve done this sort of work on my own mower many times , it,s a bit different to yours , CM185H , here it,s recommended to use power harrow gearbed grease , ( EP-00 gel grease ) & fill up to halfway up the lateral shaft , I drilled a hole in the lid 3/4 along towards the outside drum , got my excellent local machinist to make a steel boss that I migged on , & it accepts both , a land - rover axle breather , & also , the threaded end of a grease gun hose , so I can pump in 3 gunfuls of gel grease every pre - season checkover , ( dip it with a thin rod if you,re concerned about overgreasing it ) , check the bearings & seals while you,re in there , more involved work , but well worth it in the long run . We can still get Timken bearings here , bearing in mind the amount of work these do , & how much downtime is one nuisance when you need the mower , these are all I will fit . Belts ; I have been told ,( by the same engineer that supplies me with the bearings & seals ) to only ever fit a matched set when replacing multiple belt sets like this , just thought it might help , as the stretch factor in them is equal . Best of luck , Happy Spanners .

Hi do you have a parts diagram for us please?

Does anyone know what the dome in the blades are for? Thanks

Yes, you are correct. There should be a stepped pin for the top link. This allows you to have either category 1 or category 2 on the top link.

How do you change the belts

I enjoyed watching your video your project is very incredible and interesting your dogs are cool too. So how many amps needed to run all your green houses I’m curious how many breakers per green house. I’m planning on building a green house too. And for irrigation I believe it can have its own timer vs wire into the existing timer do morovidios too whenever you have some time to spare 🤩👍 incredible video I enjoyed it.

I be thinking the nut being welded is a problem, should there be some backlash?

you're lucky to have found this drum mower. Unfortunately Braber doesn't sell them any more and used ones seem to be as rare as hen's teeth - I wish I'd seen it before you :) Before you fill it back up with grease check the blade/drum timing is set right, especially if someone else has had had it apart. I have an older NH 474 mower conditioner, it works well but is a bit slow. BTW I'm near Victoria, ... keep up the great vid's

IMHO you chose the right baler, NH has good parts support on these old balers though not cheap! I have a NH273 - by the ferry I'm guessing you're on VI too...

Good start, looking forward to seeing this progress! Top pin is cat1/2 stepped same as a haybob. Whereabouts are you?

Good start, looking forward to seeing this progress! Maybe you can let us see the inside of the gearbox while the grease is out. Yes there's supposed to be a cat1/2 stepped top link pin same as a haybob. Whereabouts are you?
