Hi Mick,

I have just ordered a number of Weibang parts ahead of rebuilding the rear roller assembly on a Weibang legacy 56Pro. Amongst the parts that I required I ordered 2 x roller bush kits in the anticipation of receiving in the kit 1 x seal, 1 x bush & 1 x spacer but both the kits have arrived without the spacers included, even though the spacers are mentioned in the enclosed service bulletin. Has the spacers been deleted from these kits?

Thanks

Kevin

Hi everyone,

I ordered drive belts for two 2016 Weibang Legacy Pro56 mowers (non BBC models) and I have been supplied with Timken 3L525 belts, which I were told are genuine belts even though they did not come in any branded packaging. These belts do not fit this machine, they are too short and it is impossible to line up the two idler bolts with the holes in the deck. In the past I have found that some force is required but not to this degree. The supplier tells me that these are the belts for these mowers.Does anyone know if there has been any subsequent modification to the idler or maybe these belts are incorrect?

Thank you

Kevin

Hi Everyone,

Has anyone had any success with repairing the deck on a HRH 536. I don't know if it is possible to have any cracks specialist welded?

Cheers

Hi Mick,

I thought I ought to tell you what I found was causing the vibration.

The peg on one of the plastic starter pawls had snapped off. The pawl had been rattling around in the starter side of the engine depending on how the machine was being held. The vibration was less obvious when holding the machine vertically. The broken pawl was still present and very battered. I have fitted a complete new pawl assembly just in case the other one breaks.

Cheers

Hi Mick,

I agree totally. The words functional machine and quality do not describe these items made in China. I expect you have heard the same response from the owners when you tell them the cost for repairs;2Its'scheaper to buy a new one".

Kevin

Hi Mick,

What do you think of the quality of these lawnmowers. I personally feel that the quality just is not there any more.

Hello everyone,

I have been asked to look at a KM94 RC E which is used in conjunction with a long reach hedge cutting attachment. The owner has said that it makes a strange noise when he is using it at fairly high throttle settings. I have run it my self for about 20 minutes at different throttle settings and I have noticed a very occasional metallic clicking sound that appears to come from around the exhaust area. I have also noticed a small amount of vibration when I have my hand placed on the recoil starter housing.

I am not sure if this sound is maybe the signs of needle roller bearing failure but in the past the clicking has been constant with this type of failure. I am a bit puzzled and I was wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience?

Cheers

Hi everyone,

I see a lot of problems caused by machines full of stale fuel. Over the last few months I have accumulated about 30-40 litres of the stuff and I am at a loss to know what to do with it. I can't take it to the local tip because in the county I live in none of the tips take it.

Any ideas?

Kevin

Unbelievably!!

Kevin

You would have thought they would have said something about the vibration!!

But having said that I have encountered some right heavy-handed users of equipment.

Is this machine now a right-off?

Kevin

Hi Mick,

The pulley was a bit sticky on the ramps. I think water must have got in some how. I gave it all a good wire brush and then checked the pulley half climbed the ramps.

I have fitted new belts and it works as it should do.

Thanks for all your advice.

Kevin

Hello again Mick,

The belts are pretty worn but I have also noticed that there is a large gap between the top and bottom of the upper pulley (nearest the securing nut and circlip).And the top half of the upper pulley does not move on the splines, I am assuming it is fixed and that only the bottom half should move?



I don't see enough of these to know what is standard.

Looking back I did fit a new tensioner to this machine about eighteen months ago.

Do you have any thoughts?

Thanks

Kevin

Hi Mick,

Thanks for your reply, always appreciated.

Both the rollers drive but I have yet to look at the belts.

Do you know if the intermediate pulley was modified on this model the same as the 56 pro?

Cheers

Kevin

Hi everyone,

I have in my workshop a Weibang Pro 48 BBc and the owner is complaining about the lack of power from the drive. Would this be the same issue that affected the bigger Pro 56 where the drive belt tensioner/speed control unit had been subject to a subsequent modification?

Regards

Kevin

Hi Everyone,

I have an Atco Rider 28H ride-on in my workshop for a service and I have noticed that the deck is out of adjustment. The type is F 72 Hydro FL and the year of manufacture is 2020. I have looked online but have been unable to find any information about cutting deck checking/adjustment procedure.

I seem to recall with the 66 models of this type of machine the adjustment/checking procedure involved parking the machine on a level surface,putting blocks of a specified thickness under the front and rear corners of the deck, 500 mm apart (front to back). Then loosening the adjustment nuts and lowering the height adjustment lever on the mower to the lowest setting. But I don't know if this applies to the later machines because the adjustment and deck mountings are different.

Does anyone out there know where I can find this info?

Cheers

Kevin
