Mick, I’ve just binge-watched all three episodes. Utterly absorbing! The end result was of course magnificent - but it was the way you calmly overcame each difficulty as you met it that was particularly inspiring. In my view you are proof that what happens in people’s sheds is one of the things that makes this country great. And by the way, you have a father-son relationship that you should feel proud of. 👍🏻👍🏻 Go Riley!

cant beat a push mower..ive got a 16inch greens zephyr with 12 blades..the 14 inch with 10 blades and a 12inch with 8 blades..also got 3 webb witches..problem with the ransomes..it hasnt got enough blades so gives a washboard kind of cut..plus the upturned bottom blade..a tournament blade from garfitts would be ideal and an 8 blade cylinder would make it the best 12 inch mower there is..

@bananabrooks3836 Жыл бұрын
I wonder how much it sold for? Good mowers, except when the lawn surface is bumpy and the rollers slip if ground is wet. They could do with longer handles and l find the original grips are too hard without gloves. lt gets your muscles warmed up to push, (try to find a light viscosity grease for the drive side lube). Sensitive to adjustments but easy to do once practiced.
@themowerman Жыл бұрын
It sold for good money.. yeah if your over 5foot 8 it's too small for you
@BensWorkshop 2 жыл бұрын
There's an echo in the audio.... ;) Top job. I suspect the rollers were originally covered in some oil finish. You might want to see if there is any advice out there. That said, after I sanded down the handles on my garden sheers and put boiled linseed oil on they ended up looking the same!

As a cylinder mower enthusiast, i can say you have done a really good job on that mick, my only bit of advice would be to never leave paint on the cutting surfaces (ends of cylinder and bed knife edge) otherwise cracking result mate 👍

hi again! i started reassembling the rear drums as i watch your video. is that normal that drums shift and touch each other even though i left a slight gap between them then installed rachets abd screwed covers down? once i assemble all, that will be eliminated? not sure if im doing right. i keep rewatching your video
