Thanks! same problem on my Mountfield. a 10 min fix instead of it disappearing into the black hole of a repair shop not to be seen for weeks. also gave me the excuse to sharpen the blade at the same time. Keep up the good work!

Hi Mick - just want to say a huge thanks for the video. My Mountfield SP did the same thing and I was 1/2 way to yet another new mower... (last one before did the same so thats project no.2 lol)... and when you said its not rocket science to check and fix, I thought WTH and went out and lo-an-behold dropped belt and it was easy to put back on again with the covers off. Thank you mate - saved me 300-400 quid.

Easy fix! For those viewers who don't know, those face shields are not impact resistant, so for grinding, etc., you still need to wear safety glasses/goggles.

Mick, I was tracking your video to see if it offered any direction on my Atco Viscount 19SEneeding a drive belt replacement. I have cautiously delved into the machine being somewhat amazed at the difficulty of a simple change, so many bits to dismantle to get to the belt pulley. Hope I have kept all the separate screws with the fittings. I have to say my impression of a quality mower with so many places to trap grass cuttings is disappointing in terms of design. Ambition is to get to an electric start refurb to share mowing with the other half this Summer.

Brilliant video Mick,I have a no drive problem on a Qualcast 46cm. After watching your video I found the belt off on the gearbox pully, after a close look the one side of the plastic plastic pully had completely worn away, having put the belt on just to see if the gearbox worked it went a few yards and came off again which Iknow would happen with this one sided pully. I also noticed the blade pully does not line up with this gearbox pully. I bought this mower new about 5 years ago . Have you come across this Mick.
