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. 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. |

https://www.charlies.co.uk/stihl-rm253-t-self-propelled-petrol-lawnmower.html I dont want too big. I dont want a fabric collection 'box' Felt comfy to use and decently made.
Yes the pawls have come off, one 'could' go back on, other has sheared, Ive not found a similar enough one yet. I'll not be going down the drill route. If I could get gaskets, carb be ok. Or a replacement may work if they fit. dunno. Either way, time, and need to cut the grass are against me. No final decision yet. May continue to play with the old one in the background, but need something that works and is appropriate for what I have. |

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. |

From memory the Suffolk Punch shares the same engine as the Suffolk Colt so opens up another spares avenue. The recoil starter is held on by three nuts and once removed exposes the metal parts that fling out to engage the starter and then spring back. The spring, cord etc is straightforward so I assume the fling out bits have come adrift. If you can't find a replacement and you're feeling brave, you can knock up a bracket to fit the flywheel slots and start it with a drill. You just need to be very quick at removing the socket once it starts. The carb is straightforward as you've probably already found out but both of these models were prone to fuel tank tap leaking. If you know someone in a machine shop, both the footplate (cutting edge) and blade can be sorted. We used to remove the blade (chain driven) and stick it in a lathe with a running centre. You could always tell when one of us was doing it by the ping ping ping as the cutter touched the cylinder blade. |
