Hi Ian,
thank you, that's very valuable information.
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...
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...
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...
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...
Crankitup - I have a HRU197d and it's definitely not a side discharge .... but that's an interesting guess
Edbeek - sounds logical.
thanks for the replies so far.
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 :-(

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...
good point Beetlejuice, until today my little Victa handheld blower pretty much did what I needed, not great but reliable.
I did some work this morning on short notice (it was very windy which...
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
thanks for all the advice. The BR600 had sold by time I got there today after a messy clean up job :-( oh well I'll keep hunting around for something 2nd hand in good nick.
Hi Rick,
thanks for the work tomorrow, much appreciated. Just got back from a Glenroy jungle experience, even managed to stall the HRU197 a few times the grass was that tall and thick.
Will be in...
thanks hjl & m287j
looks like I'll check out the second hand backpack machine on the way home after I deal with a 'jungle' job this morning. Always appreciate advice from people who actually use the...
:wave-hi: thanks man
thanks for the feedback, I have had one person say that by the end of the day the backpack made his back sore so I'm interested to get other feedback
I'm looking at a Stihl leaf blower (preferably 2nd hand) to upgrade from my Victa.
I've seen a BR600 Magnum backpack blower in good condition for about $400 (think they will drop the $ a bit)...
Hi People,
very new to this - the forum and mowing for money. Have already learnt quite a bit from the forum and chatting with a few dudes who make a living out of mowing.
I'm based in Gladstone...
