If it was me and an eighteen year old Ford that had sat under a tree for a few years, it would definitely be getting a second hand starter from ebay or a scrappy!
Welcome to OOF
I don't really cut the grass on my crap lawns, i just decapitate the weeds.
That's Day of the Triffids where they go blind
I bought an OE starter from Mercedes when I needed one for my Smart due to it being such a tw4t to fit. Had it been easier to replace I might have considered a pattern part!
It's the end of the world I tell you
Lord Opti bought a cheap Chinese self propelled thing at the end of last summer, and he's probably used it a few times by now so will be able to give a review.
It had a beer can holder! Which is all you need to know!
Parker Brand petrol mower with drive and a large 53 CM cut.
About £300 on Ebay but shop around and I reckon you can find one for £100 less. I believe I paid £190 ish.
Can't fault it for the money other than being glacially slow.
Chinky 173cc 4 stroke lump seems OK.
This one M'lud?

Maybe you could get it remapped to give it a bit more Oomph!
Except mine has a 21 inch cut not 17inch, and 173cc engine not 150cc.
Also, my grass box is 75L not 45L.
I have it's bigger brother so to speak.
