H Mountfield ride on mower. 42â cut Repair or spares
This is a Mountfield hydrostatic 42â deck, with crass box. Only 260 hours on it since new. I have had it a few years and itâs been a good mower, but have not had it serviced, just topped up oil and replaced belts myself. It has several problems which you need to know about. It currently does not work. It broke down in the paddock about a month ago and does not ong>turnong> over (I think itâs stuck in an engaged hear). I also think their is an electrical problem with the key barrel as I occasionally had to ong>turnong> the key a few times for it to engage. The choke cable is stiff and probably needs replacing. The blade engagement button also does not always work when you want it too, but does eventually after lots of pressing. The fuel hoses are starting to perish and it needs a good service. The bonnet has lost a bolt and is hanging off and their are a couple bolts missing from the exit grass chute. Itâs had a new battery last year. It seems to be stuck in a gear as I cannot push it easily and it took me and my neighbour a while to get it back to the garage. My Neighbour with some good mechanical knowledge thinks itâs fully repairable, however, our house is up for sale and the less we take with us the better, I already have a good rotary mower. This would make a good project for someone. I have to say, despite the negative above, when it runs, itâs superb and cuts beautifully!! Two/three man collection onto trailer, sorry I cannot help much as I need my back for my living and itâs weak at the moment. Collection from Sibsey, Boston. Read More
