Repair Victa Mower
I've got an old two stroke Victa mower. Any Australians in these forums?
For a long time it's been making a loud rattling sound as it mows and in the last couple of mows it got really fierce. Sounds like something's loose down there at the bottom of the motor.
I suspect a broken bearing or something like that. Can't imagine what else. Don't know enough. Not much of a mechanic. Never worked on mowers.
It is not the blades or the disc. They all seem well fastened down, no movement in them.
So the question is: can I pull this thing apart and find this problem and fix it - me being an ordinary bloke without much mechanical know-how - or would I be better off giving up and going out and getting a new one?
i.e. is fixing the 'gearbox' end of 2 stroke mowers a big job?
