    Re: replacement engine for Honda HRU197d

    Hi HJL,

    re: B&S I suppose that's something I can chase up, I'd be surprised if it didn't bolt onto the frame but the tricky bit would be knowing if I can screw the blade carrier/disk onto the...

    Re: replacement engine for Honda HRU197d

    Hi Steveo, I had thought maybe the carby is not behaving because it's black smoke (I was cleaning the filter in the hope it was the culprit) however I've noticed a decline in power and motor is...

    Re: replacement engine for Honda HRU197d

    a GXV160 should bolt on but the lawnmower shop told me I'd also need a blade kit because the existing bolt which secures the blade carrying disk (if that's what you call it) is different, it may be a...

    replacement engine for Honda HRU197d

    Hi People,

    I've had a 2nd hand (at least 5 years old when I got it) Honda HRU197d since I started back in Oct last year, I've loved how it worked without complaint and just cut stuff. All I've...

    Re: Hr"u"197d?

    Crankitup - I have a HRU197d and it's definitely not a side discharge .... but that's an interesting guess

    Hr"u"197d?

    Hi People,

    I have an old but excellent Honda HRU197D, it does a very good job. I found a list explaining Honda's naming system, which is great, except I can't find what "U" stands for :-(

    Re: backpack vs handheld leaf blowers

    I purchased a 2nd hand BR600 late yesterday... non scientific observation is that the BR600 puts out a "sh*t tonne" (that's technical talk) more air than my little Bunnings bought Victa.
    Thanks for...

    Re: backpack vs handheld leaf blowers

    good point Beetlejuice, until today my little Victa handheld blower pretty much did what I needed, not great but reliable.

    Re: backpack vs handheld leaf blowers

    interesting, I have never heard of MTM as a brand though? Maybe I don't get out enough?
    I do like the price and the claimed air velocity of 415 km/h

    Re: hello from Gladstone Park

    Hi Rick,

    Will be in...

    backpack vs handheld leaf blowers

    I'm looking at a Stihl leaf blower (preferably 2nd hand) to upgrade from my Victa.
