    Great video mate, just shows why most people don't bother with old motors etc. much less fuss with new parts.

    Great video mate, they are a great machine when running well. I always say lawn Barber (reel) versus lawn Butcher (rotary).

    The "pin" that was replacing the cotter pin broke. So the engine shaft would just spin freely coz these no woodruff key. Gunna have to sort that. It's snow balling.

    The screaching noise is from the bearings inside the recoil clutch. When you take it off next time put a few drops of oil in the hole in the end and you should be all sweet.
