    Hi Mick, interesting video. It would be interesting to find out how you fix the E start. I have the same mower and my starter has never worked. I haven't got the original battery but I tried it using a external battery but it said nothing. It would be nice to get it working?
    Best regards Steve from Germany.

    Hi Mick, Really appreciate your videos. I have a small shop and some of your videos have saved me a great deal of aggravation at times.
    A quick question though: Why is it that most of the mowers in the UK have rollers on the back instead of wheels.

    • @themowerman
      @themowerman  Рік тому +1

      It's just an English thing.. we have had rollers since 1800s..

    Hi Mick, thank you for your great videos, with your advice you have helped me keep my old Suffolk punch going. I have now got a couple of parts that I need. Please could you tell me where I can get them. 1 is the silver wheel that picks up the belt to turn the cylinder and the other is the red safety lever on the handle to engage the blade. Thank you for your help in advance, kind Regards Andy

    Hi Mick! Great content on your channel!
    Being from Denmark, we very rarely see mowers of the same quality as Allett , Atco or Massport (Only see reel mowers without the roller in the back and wheel instead - See Gudenaa mower). I've been very lucky as to have found one imported from UK to here.. But I have a question for you, wich I don't think I've seen answered clearly anywhere..
    The Balmoral I've got, has a 6-blade cartridge, but in the upcomming season, I would like to start cutting my lawn a bit tighter!
    Does the Allett Kensington 10-blade cartridge fit onto the Balmoral models? Some places say yes, others say no.. Could you help a brother out, answering that question?
    All the best
    -Thomas

    Just a quick question on the grass comb. The 17SE I'm working on at the moment has an adjuster for the height of the comb. At the highest level it is above the level of front roller. Do you think Atco did this to make it easier to switch from blade to scarifier and back again or do you think they expected everyone to remove the comb?
