I did some mowing this morning. I had started last week and mowed the front lawns and the back first bit, round by our pool and by the new paddock that we are in the process of putting in. So this morning I thought I would start on the back three acres. I never got once round before the mower gave up….. it still would go but the blades did not cut. I stopped the mower, got off and looked underneath, determining that the drive belt was loose and for some reason the bit that held the blade and the belt was lower than it should be.
When hubby got home he looked at it and determined that I had broken the bit that held this up.. a big thick chunk of a bit that would be diifficult to break!
We took it in to be fixed, and luckily they had the part and within two hours we fetched it home…. Complete now with new drive bit, and new blades.
Let’s hope that there are no more big stones that I can hit that would weaken my mower and bend my blades!
