Does anyone know of this mower? I have been considering a dedicated mulch mower for some time. The Victa and Masport aluminium units go for a premium then this Rancher(?) was offered and I took a punt. All stainless chassis, fully folding handle and powered with a B&S 5.0hp Quantum. Here is a...

About the fuel line. It is 3/16" at the carb and 5/16" onto the fuel tank. Do I require a genuine item or will standard 3/16" fuel line be satisfactory if I put one end in hot water and feed/form it onto the fuel tank spigot?? A stepped adapter is possible but if hot water will do the...

The Honda has been fitted to the Victa body. painting, wheel bearings and bushes etc done to improve its appearance and function. I am wanting to fit the 4 blade Victa disc to the unit. My thinking is that the fail blades will reduce the risk of damage in case of impact. Is there an adapter...

The tab that retains the cord wheel in my pull start is about to give up the ghost. At the 90 degree juncture, one side of the tab has come adrift completely and the other side is fractured and will not last much longer. I had a quote of $50 to micro weld which is a bit over the top for this job...

It is Queens Birthday weekend here and the likes of Repco and Supercheap have good prices on motor oil. Both my Hondas are powered with older GXV120 as are my project motors waiting in the wings. I have always had older motor vehicles too and when they had a few miles on the clock, ring and...

I have decide to spruce up the old Honda. I think it is circa 1990 or such. The usual red with silver alloy deck. Is there a reference chart with colour codes for the engine and starter cowl covers? This is its sister, same colour...

Both of my mowers are powered by GXV120 motors. The beauty of them is a HR214S; one owner ex Ireland then NZ and recently bought by me. It's old and I love it. The first Honda was a freeby I was given about 15 tears ago, a SupaSwift powered with a Honda GXV120. It was described as rebuilt but...

On a punt, I bought a mower principally for spares but with hope that it was a runner as described by the owner. It is an alloy body re-powered with a Honda GXV120. My son was doing business down the line and collected it for me and delivered it last Friday. The first thing was to check the oil...

I couldn't find a forum for the Steelfort so here it is. If the thread needs removing to an appropriate forum please do so. I am hoping that someone can give me an idea of when this mower was manufactured. I am guessing 50's to mid 60's. Yesterday I spoke with Steelfort here in NZ but there...

Honda GXV120 engine build number location Today I attempted to find the engine build numbers on my two spare GXV120 motors. I checked out the Honda handbook and saw the location indicated. So, outside to the shed and dragged out the Swift with the Honda. I removed the cover and looked about...

I came upon this site while doing some reading up on Honda mowers. I recently bought a one owner(?) HR214 and can't wait to see my wife chasing it around the section. I believe that it is the Japanese deck with the independent height adjusters. A good mate is coming North to lay some concrete...
