Damn 'n blast. Hit one of the larger rocks (bed rock...) in the "lawn" with the blade of the rotary mower the other week. Sheared the locating pins on the diecast boss, neat I though saves the engine.
Got a new boss and blade and fitted them, started it up and boy is there a lot of vibration. Check the new blade for balance OK. Dreaded thought output shaft bent, mower up on blocks, engine started. Oh dear... there is the shaft wobbling nicely by about 3/16". The B&S
10D900 series engine is "lumpy" and hunts but then it has no load, with the blade fitted and a short run of mowing it didn't seem to bad considering the vibration...What does the panel think are the chances of:
a) Straighting the shaft in stitue. b) Other engine damage.
