A customer hit a wooden fence post with their lawn mower. Since doing so the whole machine vibrates. Can we fix it?

As soon as I read the video title, I was thinking bent crankshaft. Amazed it still ran at all, and didn’t shake itself to bits.

@Mikelp73 3 ай бұрын

This reminded me of when I was little mowing my grandfathers yard in Florida. I went off the curb and bent the crankshaft. Thing is I really miss that time it’s such a distant memory now it feels like another lifetime. Hard to put myself there and believe it was our life. Miss him.

I worked with a guy who bent the crank on his mower, he kept going though just to get it done. After mowing he looked at his wrist watch and both hands were just sliding around on the face under the crystal! The vibration broke them off LOL. Thanks! another great video!

I've had 3 of these 190cc L head engines in the last few years and they've all failed with light duty. The oil would thin out and would be silver in color after three or four mows. Eventually they'd let the smoke out in the middle of a mow and that would be it. Nice to see one being serviced that doesn't have silver oil!

@ruben_balea 3 ай бұрын

@@M.TTT. No, those are still made, like Stens 751-032 and Rotary 1709 I don't recommend trying to fix a crankshaft or any other shaft that has a blade on it, but there are many machines were a crankshaft can be fixed safely. Pressure washer pumps that are mounted directly to the engine shaft can do funny things when they seize. On karts and other chain driven machines you can bend the crankshaft if something gets caught between the chain and pinion/sprocket or if you tighten a hot chain without leaving enough slack, because as the steel cools it will shorten creating a *massive* pull force. That happens with chainsaw chains too.

grouse work mate she looks and sounds better after replacing the crankshaft for sure and those parts brand new depending on where you are in the world are not cheap and that,s for sure and yep in my time i have seen people over here where i live mow over solid items and then they wonder why it,s vibrating on the engine crankshaft excessively too but yeah straightening it is a optional technique but yeah sometimes replacing it makes all the difference i reckon and cheers from Australia 🐨🐑🦘🌴🇦🇺 or the land down under to your area and yep our Victa P/T (Power Torque) lot we have often have then too etc.

Have a neighbor that had a blue Kolbalt battery operated push mower. He is always running over stuff in his yard. One day he ran over something pretty big and all I heard was a crunch and silence. I looked over and he had the blade with half the shaft attached to it in his hand. The next day the mower was out front by the curb.

I use my dads mower on our plot of land about 1/3rd of an acre i think. only problem with it is its lost its drive, not sure whats happened with it. there is resistance when lever is pulled but no drive... think its an Allister from B&Q, not one ive ever used before. i am reluctant to take it to bits but a part of me feels its something simple like a stretched drive belt...

Your customer was lucky to damage the engine, it seems to be the cheapest part of an Outils-Wolf mower, I'm fixing a 20 year old GTBF4M for a friend and (at least in Spain) all parts are 2-3 times more expensive than genuine parts for a similar Husqvarna mower. The parts that are standard like bearings and bolts cost more or less the same as in my nearest tractor parts store but any custom parts like pulleys and bowden cable are incredibly overpriced.
