    Ok Change of direction.
    Me 5 year old very well used/abused Honda Victa powered 560 Mulchmaster done a gear box. I tried to fix it spending all day on it but failed during a raining day off the other week.

    Took it in,
    They put in a new SP gear box, complete with new rear axle assembly with new overdrive springs for pulling the mower backwards, new inside the wheel drive clog gears & pins, new bearings on the drive in the axle slots. It was a complete assembly replacement unit.
    Including labour $390 total. Me being GST registered gets me $35.46 back too.

    Got the old parts back too as there are some items that are worth while keeping with in the old assemble, ie drive cogs, pins O/D springs and one new bearing I put in.


    Edit, none of you guys are reading me post, just flicking the mouse wheel up to the top again and again .
    Cheers Garry

    Yep I agree Gazza. She'd look good on a Victa too.

    Really nice to hear something like your story occur and very rewarding for one's self.

    I did a job for a one off customer today in a well to do street with high quality homes and Mercedes cars within. I do a luxury new period style house in the street for a fanstatic regular customer.
    Lady in the street calls out to do a job for her garden last week, I give a very reasonable price and she says do the job but leave the waste on the ground to save money. Rings back that night and says Ok take it to the tip now.
    Do the pre agreed quoted price and she struggles to pay me today and searches the house for dollars coins to complete the payment, Think she was hoping I would say "OH that amount will be OK".

    Luxury 30sq home, go figure, I'm still shaking my head over it. FM, hours later and I'm still dumb founded as I type this.


    Edit, how many of you guys have a new Desktop Background.
    Cheers Garry
