    They do look bald, (supposedly mowed 30 lawns with it) maybe they are doing burnouts with it..

    Bag has a hole in corner(?) and rub marks along the side of the deck.
    If he did 30 lawns in a month with it then he was a hard bastard.
    I reject your reality and substitute my own.

    I'm interested in it so I've sent a question for clarification as to how many hours and lawns it has actually done.

    Hi Theresa

    Can you provide some clarification and peace of mind for me...

    The ad says only 30 lawns / 1 months use. I'm a commercial contractor interested in this mower but looking at the holes in the corners of the catcher bag, the numerous scrapes on sides of the chassis and the bald rear tyres this mower has obviously done a LOT more work than you claim in your ad.

    Can you please give me an accurate answer as to the amount of work this machine has done?

    Also is the blade brake and clutch functioning in A1 condition.

    Thanking you in advance for your honest answer,

    Paul

    sounds like B/s to me.
    If he only cut 30 lawns for the month he probably starved to death, lol! I know I would.

    30x 10 acre properties
    Anything Ian says may or may not be garbage, it may also be his own opinion or it may not be his opinion at all, it may just be something he felt like stating anyone following his advice does so at their own risk and may be doing something Ian would actually advise against.
    And if you don't like what Ian has to say use the ignore function if you don't know how ask i will gladly tell you

    Anyone used Impact wrenches to replace blade disks and blades?

    I use a air powered rattle gun, only way to go - be aware that sale is only for a skin, you need a battery & charger which could cost more then the driver

    be carefull with rattle guns they will snap or stripp bolts if applied with to much pressure..and is a real bugger if its a crank bolt..
