For the price they are good mower for small patches. Think I’d turn up a boss if you have suitable size material ( in stock) They are prone to filling up with dry grass and overheating if not cleaned out every few years. I have one of these ( later model different switch handle) and loaded the inside fan sections with lead shot and epoxy. Helps munch through the thicker stuff with a sharp blade 🌝 Keep up the good work🙂
Good to hear that you think they are fairly good. The motors seem robust and they are the same for the next size down so they grunt through the longer stuff, cheers
There are many of these mowers laying around broken in different ways. You may get a few of them for free and "harvest" the parts. In my country I managed to get 6 of cordles ones for a few euros. With 36V batteryes and chargers. I managet to put 2 working ones out of them. I got 7 batteryes all together. One is very good, three of them at 70% of capacity, only one was bad, but still OK for DIY rebuilding project.

Hi Andy - around the 14:40 mark, you soak some 'gunk' around the bearing. Just wondered if you could let me know what the 'gunk' stuff was? Great video by the way! The bearings have gone in my dad's old Rotak 370 ER mower and I thought I'd have a go to repair it after watching your video 🙂. Cheers!
Awesome love your video mate, nothing modern seems to be built to last or to be easily repaired.
Exactly and a new set of skills required, cheers

Hi, that will be diesel, handy stuff, yes have a go, no rush, cheers
We're it not for the belt I would epoxy the bearing otherwise it is spare parts.for another project.
If I needed it I would search for a different belt supplier, but it's great as support for my other one,
