Regards solving the excessive vibration I didn't think to check the fan blade. I had one broken blade but the rotor on mine has and odd number so not easy to balance. I took a chance and broke every 8 blade as well as file the edge to the same profile as complete blades. Reassembled the mower and now runs sweetly- thanks to you for highlighting broken blades,👍
I didn't know them spacers can shear off luckily the blade bolt did not snap as would of been bigger issue Where's the blade can do some damage and the rest of the bolt getting stuck in the drive pulley. And you would either unscrew the rest of the bolt with pliers or replace the drive assembly. I prefer plastic bladed hover mowers there safer than metal i also noticed that the flymo in this video is missing its support rollers. That support the weight when the grass box is full. But nice repair videos.
Hi Ladfixes, yes I believe they shear off then the Blade goes loose immediately to avoid damage to the unit. It’s a Hover Mower I think the wheels at the front are purely for transit.
@@green-crocs-fixes1520 yeah but the rollers are there to support the weight to stop the hover mower bogging down into the grass when the grass box is full. This one has them on the front to support it and others have them on the back under the mowers deck.
Hi, thanks for your video. I have the same lawnmower and I believe my spacers have both gone as the mower is making a totally different sound. Can I ask where you purchased the spacers from?
Hi Rochelle, you can purchase the Spacers from your local large hardware store like B&Q if your in England. You can also purchase from Amazon or eBay 😎

Thank you for letting me know, a great help and will have a look.
I have this mower I hit a rock while cutting and now it makes a squeaking noise when it starts up
Hi Nick,
probably the Belt slipping, suggest try tightening slightly.
Regards 😎.
