Hi Mick
The machine has a kettle lead which runs from the deck to the main body.
It does come loose from time to time, I've checked this and
I've check all the obvious.
I've removed the front deck cover to check the other end of the lead which appears to be ok.
I did noticed when raising the height the deck wouldn't drop lower, I over shot the height I wanted, tried to lower it with no success.
How ever i could continue to raise the deck and now it's stuck on the maximum height.

Unfortunately we have to cut in all weather but the machines are generally kept clean.
I do on occasions spray the roller with WD40.

I know of another contractor who used KAAZ
Mowers and they lasted a good few seasons.
I'll have a look at the cobra pro.

I'm mill hill London Nw7
I've sent the serial number over to two companies. It just seems like no one is interested in helping.
I'm actually trying to sell the ride on but would like it fully functional first.
I can by pass the PCB and Ignition and it runs fine but it's very dangerous as I can't disengaged the cutter deck.
Once I start it the cutting deck remains engaged.

I've contacted several dealers and they either don't reply, don't call back after initial contact or are reluctant to assist.

Hi Mick,
I've purchased 4 lawnflite 553 pro's
In just over 2 years.
The most recent purchase was March this year and both have had the roller bearings replaced and one gear box rebuilt.
Fortunately I kept the old mowers for spares which has proved very valuable!
The first two I bought in 2019 lasted a little over a month before both grass flaps were replaced and
In just under a year both gear box's failed.
In total I've replaced x 4 grass flaps,
Rebuilt 1 gear box and replaced 4 roller bearings.
Also what was very frustrating and annoying was when the mowers arrived on both occasions the governor valves required adjusting as they all come set on the lowest revs.

Hi everyone
Advice please!
I've used almost every lawn mower sold as a contractors mower at one time or another in last 20 years.
I'm looking to replace my existing lawn flite pro's as they are the worst mowers I've ever used and fell apart within 6 months.
Any suggestions?
I would love to see the return of the old square hayter harrier 48 wishful thanking I know but they were a solid mower.

Thank you
