A pleasure to be able to share my experience with the machine. (I also have a Japanese Canycom mower/tractor - expensive but solid - 4 wheel drive, high low speed drives, diff lock etc.) Yardman for flatter stuff Canycom for my really steep heavy going stuff. If I can give more details for the...

When delivered the starter motor shaft was bent. It was readily apparent. How could it get bent? The bend was just the section immediately ourdise of the starter body. I presume an assembler dropped the motor but put it in even though it was bent. A workshop friend rotated it in his lathe and we...

My MTD fitted with that motor also had a problem a bit like that. It ultimately burnt out the starter relay. Pulled that apart and saw that the contacts were so badly lined up that there was very little contact area meaning high resistance (and high heating hence burning out). Replaced with a...
