Hi all,the centre bolt for the blade has sheared and now the threads are stuffed,I dont know if rethreading it would be a long term solution?anyway maybe its easier to just replace the motor..is there a cheaper motor that will fit?or what would be the best thing to do with it?
The same thing happened to my sp procut 50 so now I have 2 mowers out of action!😳
And now Ive just double posted and cant delete it!..��
You can fix stripped thread pretty easily if not too bad
You could take bolt into total tools or similar and buy a matching tap ... although sometimes similar price to buy a set like this :

If it's really damaged you can try something like this :

But in my experience from snapping off or cross threading a bolt, the tap worked fine
The blade carrier bolt on a 197 snapped as far as i know the shop just removed it and put another bolt in I don't know if they had to rethread or not it was all done under warranty, bolt sheared on 1st lawn :laughing:
You could also check ebay or gumtree for a replacement engine all engines should be able to just bolt on to the chassis you will need to check the shaft length and diameter I think it maybe 70mm and 7/8th (22.2mm)
