Newbie who is most probably out of his depth with Mowers !

Greetings everybody. I'm just a hobbyist who thinks he can still do things in his seventies just like he could do when he was in his forties !
Unfortunately I now realise that I can no longer lift a Hayter Harrier 48 onto the work bench, or even crouch down to  fix problems due to arthritis in the joints. But I keep pressing on with jobs. It just takes longer to complete them.
I'm hoping that I can get help and advice on fixing my mower from the forum  including the " proper name" for the parts I need, plus advice on where to get the parts from. Thank you. Tonino

Hi Tonino, and welcome to TGMForum.

Hopefully we can help you along the way, and keep your hobby going. Just ask as required. 

I've been repairing this stuff for 48 yrs, and must admit I'm struggling to lift some of the Hayters onto the bench these days.  The kids have it easy these days with hydraulic benches etc.

Thank you for your pleasant welcoming words Mick. The problem I have with my mower will seem trivial to someone with 48 years experience, but I'm now certain that it can be sorted, just by reading the previous forum posts. I will start a new post explaining my problem. Thank you.
