    Thanks for the manual. These mowers are excellent with longer rough stuff.I have had mine 15 years & is still running as good when I purchased it.

    Having the manual is a bonus.

    Thanks
    Ian

    A few years ago I bought something like 10 sets with nuts n bolts etc.
    MANY were bent and the nuts were a one off as the threads would strip like the metal was soft or something. I was not happy but may be better now.

    In fact, Im using ASP stuff less and less due to poor quality. Ride on blades that are seriously out of balance has put me off them as well. Am able to fix it myself but they should be "somewhat" close and not need so much grinding to balance them!

    I guess what Im saying is, always check stuff from ASP before using!

    I agree. A.S.P blades wear too quickly too. I started using GA Spares brand which are a bit more expensive ($25 for 4 blades + nuts and bolts) but they last a hell of a lot longer. Probably works out cheaper with the time saved replacing blades.

    there massively underpowerd would only be good if you used it domesticly and weekly mows at the max as the 3hp would struggle to cut the grass over 22inchs but the Self propel would make it utterly gutless on tall or thick grass ok as a domestic mower but not commercial
